"Between 1933 and 1945, millions of European Jews were persecuted and killed during a time known as the “Holocaust.” Today is a day of remembrance.
Nobel Prize winning author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said: “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”
The Bible addresses injustice and oppression in hundreds of passages throughout its pages.
In Isaiah 1:17 we read: “Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.”
And Isaiah 58:5 says: “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?”
