On January 27, the world marked the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that belongs not only to history but to the moral conscience of humanity, Yordanka Fandakova, MP of GERB-UDF, said in Parliament on Wednesday, reading a declaration on behalf of her parliamentary group.

“We honor the memory of the millions of innocent victims - human lives destroyed by an obscurantist ideology. Remembrance cannot be selective. It does not belong to one or two, but to every single life that was cut short, devalued, and erased,“ Fandakova added. The Holocaust shows how far man can go when another person ceases to be human in his eyes and is reduced to a number, a category, or a threat, she noted.

“This evil was not spontaneous. It was systematic, rationalized, and accepted,“ she noted. “To remember means not to remain silent. It means not to justify,” the declaration said.

“Unfortunately, even today we are witnessing unrelenting hatred, division, and language that once again dehumanizes. This makes remembrance not a completed act, but a continuous obligation. The Holocaust must not merely be commemorated - it must be understood, so that it is never repeated,” the GERB–UDF declaration noted.
