1. To never again allow for the unchecked rise of
the menace of anti-Semitism or any kind of racial
discrimination directed by any individual or group
in society against another to gain strength . . .
2. To recognize and learn from the altruistic actions
of the "righteous among the nations", who
teach us to never be a bystander in the face of oppression.
