Forget not one thing to the last generation 2012-04-19 House Journal Page 2596 when degradation shall cease, to the last, to its ending, when the rod of instruction shall have come to conclusion. An oath: Not in vain passed over the night of terror. An oath: No morning shall see me at flesh-pots again. An oath: Lest from this we learned nothing. --Abraham Shlonsky Fully Compassionate God on high: To our six million brothers and sisters murdered because they were Jews, grant clear and certain rest with You in the lofty heights of the sacred and pure whose brightness shines like the very glow of heaven. Source of mercy: Forever enfold them in the embrace of Your wings; secure their souls in eternity. Adonai: they are Yours. They will rest in peace. Amen.
