Pope Francis on Wednesday condemned the systematic murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust, calling on the Catholic faithful worldwide and all persons of good will to protect the memory of the dark chapter in human history.
“Remembering is an expression of humanity,” Pope Francis said. “Remembering is a sign of civilization,” he continued. “Remembering is a condition for a better future of peace and fraternity.”
The Holy Father made his remarks during his weekly General Audience on Wednesday, 27 January, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
