What does "never again" mean when others become victims
Auschwitz stands as a permanent memorial to horrors against humanity. However, memory can be manipulated and newly published research from a leading Jewish scholar has confirmed that there is much cause for concern. While antisemitism should absolutely be met with moral outrage, it should not eclipse compassion for other suffering groups, especially not for our fellow followers of Jesus within those groups.
