Wednesday at sundown Yom HaShoah began. This Holocaust Day of Remembrance honors six million dead so that the world may never forget. “Hatred,” a story written by Zuzana and Karel Tausinger in 1971 and published today in Mosaic, movingly illustrates the painful necessity of remembering. And earlier this week, Jeff Jacoby, writing in the Boston Globe, warned against the tragic inevitability of forgetting.

Early last month, four statesmen urged remembrance with new legislation: Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (HEAR) to help ensure the rightful heirs of Nazi-looted artworks get their day in court.
