“For many years, we have mistakenly thought and spread the idea that the Holocaust was a crime solely against the Jewish people. While the Holocaust made the entire Jewish people direct victims by seeking their extermination, it was also a crime against other groups and peoples. In reality, it was a crime against the human family."

The ceremony was attended by the First Vice President, Alfio Piva; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Enrique Castillo; the Global Ambassador of the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace, Dr. William Soto; the United Nations Resident Coordinator, Yoriko Yasukawa; Holocaust survivor Solomon Fachler; and members of the Jewish community, among others.
