Serbia today marks the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust, genocide victims and victims of fascism. On this occasion, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander sent the following message:
“Today, on the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust, we remember the victims of the death camps and all the victims who gave their lives in World War II. With great sadness we remember the victims of Jasenovac and Auschwitz, the victims in Novi Sad, Jajinci, Old Fairgrounds… The frightening plan to destroy the entire Jewish nation, but also members of other nations, obliges us to constantly educate our youth and emphasize diversity as something that brings people together in the hope that such atrocities will never happen again. We have an obligation as the nation to remember the victims, and to respect them, but also to build a society where anti-fascism and anti-fascist values have a special place. We are proud of our anti-fascist tradition and we must not allow relativization of war crimes. Only with a clear awareness of the past, even the darkest of its parts, we can look to the future”- said Crown Prince Alexander.
