This Commemoration Book is far more than a simple tribute—it is an unflinching reminder of the real and present danger that hatred poses to humanity. Within its pages are the reflections and testimonies of those who have lived through unspeakable loss and witnessed the cruel consequences of intolerance. These accounts are neither sentimental nor self-indulgent; they are clear-eyed records of the human cost of fanaticism, and they demand to be read.
Here, you will not find the comfortable platitudes that often accompany grief. Instead, you will encounter a stark and urgent message: hatred, when unchecked, has the power to destroy everything we hold dear. But you will also find something else—an indomitable will to resist, to stand firm in the face of such malignancy, and to ensure that the lessons of the past are not forgotten.
This book is not only a commemoration—it is a provocation. It demands that we confront the sources of hatred and challenge them head-on, lest we allow history to repeat itself. In honouring those who have been lost, we also accept our responsibility to build a future where such atrocities can never again take root. This is a book for those who believe that remembrance must lead to action.
