Lest We Forget

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 31, 2026

Thoughts inspired by a memorial to concentration camp victims at Stroud’s Jewish Community Center…

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day
we contemplate the memory
of those who perished in death camps
eight decades ago
simply because they were
documented descendants of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

We ponder the priceless worth of souls
created in the image of God
as well as the price tag
of silent complicity and complacency
that continues to allow Evil
to rob the innocent of liberty and justice…
and life

Let us take time today
to view the present
through the lens of the past
all the while focusing
on the sanctity of human life
even as we take time to remember
that those who fail to learn from history
are doomed to repeat it.
