Osmani: Genocide against Jews is the greatest barbarism known to human history to date
Kosovo's incumbent President Vjosa Osmani on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day says that no one knows more about the pain than the nations who experienced similar historical fates.
"No one knows about the pain more than the nations who experienced similar historical fates! On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we sympathize with our friends and reiterate that the genocide against the Jews is the greatest barbarism known to human history to date. Today, we must remember and feel proud of the help that Albanians gave to the Jewish community during the difficult years. And while we remember the ordeal of the Jews, there is no way not to mention the assistance of the state of Israel to the Kosovars, forcibly expelled during the war of 1999. In the world only the friendships between nations and states survive. Kosovo, Albanians, Israel and Israelis have long built bridges of friendship. The Holocaust should be remembered forever and serve as an awareness, so that events like these never happen again. The commemoration of the Holocaust is a reaffirmation of the truth, a need which must never be given up under any circumstances," Osmani wrote.
