Rabbi David Katz, executive director of the Israel Heritage Foundation, had the honor of meeting with Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on Jan. 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. As a descendant of Holocaust survivors from Poland, Hungary, Romania and Moldavia, Katz emphasized the importance of remembering the past and serving as a witness to the tragedies that occurred.

Katz stressed to Danon that it’s crucial to recall the past, not just to honor the memories of those who perished but also to learn from history and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.

He also highlighted the significance of God’s role in the tragedy, as well as the ongoing challenges faced by Jews in Israel and the Diaspora.

This meeting served as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the legacy of the Holocaust and its survivors, while also promoting unity and solidarity among Jewish communities worldwide.
