NEW YORK – To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the World Jewish Congress released the following statement:
“The World Jewish Congress, on behalf of more than 100 affiliated Jewish communities from around the world, extends its solidarity on the solemn occasion of the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic chapter of history – the victims, the survivors and their descendants. We honor the lives lost as well as the enduring strength of those who survived.
“In a world plagued by the denial and trivialization of genocide, the international community must unite to preserve the memory of these dark events. The World Jewish Congress unambiguously stands against hatred and bigotry in all its forms as it pursues a future of coexistence and respect. In standing united with the people of Rwanda, the World Jewish Congress strives to ensure that ‘Never Again’ does not remain an empty promise.”
