We want to promote this peace movement with your prayers and support. In this sense, it is meaningful to have not Only Atomic Bomb Memorial Museum but also the Holocaust Education Center in Hiroshima Prefecture.We have just taken a small step. Unless we do something about this, mankind will repeat the same mistake of the past. We have to recognize this as an important issue of human race, that the disaster of nuclear weapons or of Holocaust could happen anywhere in the world. They were massacred because they happened to be Jews.After fifty years people are forgetting about these, and the crisis of nuclear weapons and the crisis of Holocaust can be observed in the world today. As to the latter, the Jewish people were not fighting the war against Germany. As to the former, it happened because of the war. We, of course, realize that the issues of the Atomic Bomb and the Holocaust are completely different things. I believe that there is a profound meaning in building the Holocaust Education Center in Hiroshima where the Atomic Bomb was dropped. This was the incentive to build this Holocaust Education Center. I thought that I had to carry out Anne's and Mr. I felt I had not only to talk about peace, but to do something about it. He said, "I sincerely hope that you will not only sympathize with Anne and others for their tragic deaths but also actually do something to create peace." I took his words as his will to me. Before he died, he sent us invaluable pictures and articles with a message. Otto Frank passed away, we had kept very close contact with each other. It was also an encounter with the Holocaust for me.
He introduced himself as a survivor from Auschwitz and the father of Anne Frank. In April 1971, while I was traveling in Israel with Shinonome Chorus, I met an elderly gentleman. Masaru Otsuki, President of the Holocaust Education Centerĭear Friends, On this memorial day of the opening of Holocaust Education Center, we are very happy and honored to have your presence in our midst.
IN MEMORY OF 1.5 MILLION JEWISH CHILDREN.
