On Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026, Many Holocaust Victims and Survivors Are Continually Denied Recognition

 Way more than ~200,000 Holocaust survivors are living right now; and almost a century after Stalin (ימ״ש) began to perpetrate the First Holocaust in the Soviet Union, Putin (ימ״ש) began to perpetrate the Second Holocaust when he invaded Ukraine in full to commit ethnocidal crimes especially against Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the rest of Ukraine’s Jewish community. Meanwhile, the last-known Holocaust victim whom was oppressed in Islamist-occupied Israel, Ran Gvili, was brought home today. For all that we know, there were probably people whom Hamas murdered and took hostage, and whom were never reported murdered or taken hostage. After all, in Islamist Iran, how many people (especially Jewish people) have been murdered, lawlessly imprisoned, etc. is only estimated. 

“Never Again” unfortunately became “What we hoped would never again occur” on February 24, 2022; and we owe recognition to all victims and survivors of the First Holocaust (c. 1922-1994) and the Second Holocaust (the Russian part of which began on February 24, 2022, and the Islamist part which began on October 7, 2023). As far as I know, Volodymyr Zelenskyy never thought that he himself would become a Holocaust survivor (and his parents were not previously given recognition as Holocaust survivors despite that Stalin, ימ״ש, intended to commit full-scale Antisemitic ethnocide). As far as I know, Shlomo Mansour (ז״ל וה״י״ד) never thought that he would become a victim of the Second Holocaust. As far as everyone should know and be concerned, every Jew from Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Shlomo Mansour to every other Jew who has endured acts of full-scale ethnocide against them, whether or not they survived, deserves recognition. 

PS Primo Levi, e.g., succumbed to PTSD. Multiple survivors of October 7th also succumbed to PTSD. One of my Andrulewicz cousins who needed to move around five times to avoid both the Nazis and the Soviets collapsed in 1970 at about the age of 58 years old, and being a hidden Jew and a kohen who happened to be a Catholic priest did not spare him. “Never Again” includes never again denying any part of the First Holocaust or the Second Holocaust.
