Chisinau to host commemorative rally commemorating victims of Holocaust

Chisinau, 21 January /MOLDPRES/ – The Parliament, in partnership with the Jewish Community of Moldova and the Government of Moldova, organises on 29 January a series of events dedicated to the commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust, the parliament's public relations department has reported.

Parliament Speaker, Andrian Candu, together with the Jewish community, representatives of the Roma community invited from abroad and officials from Moldova will participate, on 29 January, at 10:00, at the commemoration ceremony of commemorating the victims of the Holocaust.

The Moldovan state has learnt the lesson of the past and understood to act against forgetting and any forms of intolerance, discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia. The remembrance actions for Holocaust victims are the expression of the duty to recognise and assume the crimes committed against the Jewish community and the Roma community. We are obliged to understand the lessons of the past, never to admit their repetition, said Andrian Candu.

All which can come to this day are expected at the Monument to the Victims of Fascism, on Calea Orheiului.
