The central Holocaust commemoration ceremony, marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day was held in the Jewish Community Zagreb on Thursday evening, as part of a two-day programme.
The head of the Jewish Community Zagreb, Ognjen Kraus, stressed that it was not enough to condemned crimes only on paper.
The Israeli Ambassador in Croatia, Yosef Amrani, wondered how the international community could have allowed the massacre of millions of people and if we learned the lesson after the Holocaust.
He said that young people should learn from history how to build a better world, and that both governments and individuals had a moral responsibility to be better, to build a better world, and not to turn away from problems.
The event was attended by Holocaust survivors and state officials.
