“For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.” — Elie Wiesel

During the school morning assembly on 26th March 2025,  students and staff reflected on one of the darkest chapters in history—the Holocaust. This powerful presentation served as both a memorial and a reminder of our responsibility to stand against hatred, intolerance, and injustice.

The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. Others—including Roma, people with disabilities, political prisoners, and more—were also victims of this genocide. The assembly traced how discrimination gradually escalated from laws and exclusion to segregation, deportation, and mass murder in concentration camps.

“To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” — Elie Wiesel

Students were reminded that the Holocaust didn’t happen in a single moment—it unfolded over time, with indifference and silence allowing hatred to grow. The presentation encouraged everyone to learn from the past and take action in the present.

📸 Message of Hope: The assembly ended with a commitment to be upstanders—people who speak up against injustice and promote kindness and inclusion.

Class 9A also presented a group song titled ‘We Are The World.’

 Reflections by the Chairman: 

After the student-led presentation, the Chairman of the school addressed the assembly with a heartfelt reflection. She reminded the students and staff that hatred—when left unchecked—can grow silently in our hearts and lead to the kind of cruelty witnessed during the Holocaust.

She emphasized that we must never nurture hatred in our lives—whether it is toward individuals, communities, or nations. Speaking from a place of faith and compassion, she quoted the teachings of Jesus Christ, who came as a messenger of love, peace, and inclusivity. The Chairman reminded us that Christ welcomed all people, regardless of their background or status, and taught us to “love one another as I have loved you.”

Her reflection called on everyone to embrace those values in daily life, to reject prejudice in all its forms, and to build bridges of understanding and kindness.

Carrying the Message Forward

This assembly was not just a lesson in history—it was a call to action.
Let us choose love over hatred.
Compassion over cruelty.
Unity over division.

By remembering the past, we help protect the future. Together, let’s build a world where every individual is valued, included, and safe.
