On January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, leading politicians from the U.S. and Europe will join in honoring the memory ofJews killed in the Nazi genocide. Yet the immensity of that tragedy is dishonored by the hypocrisy of the ceremonies: those who pay homage to the victims of yesterday's silence are silent about today's inhumanity. We say, "Never again!" For anyone. Never again for the people of Gaza. Never again for all those struggling against dehumanization, racism andgenocide everywhere, every day.
