    Holocaust

    Holocaust indicates the genocide of the Jews of Europe by the authorities of Nazi Germany and their allies and, by extension, the extermination of all categories of people considered by the Nazis to be "undesirable" or "inferior" for political or racial reasons. In addition to the Jews, the Slavic populations of the occupied regions in Eastern Europe and the Balkans were victims of the Holocaust, and therefore Soviet prisoners of war, political opponents, ethnic minorities such as Romani people, Sinti and Jenisch, religious groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses and Pentecostals , homosexuals and mentally or physically disabled people. Between 1933 and 1945, there were around 15-17 million victims of the Holocaust, of both sexes and all ages (regardless of the elderly and children), including 5-6 million Jews.

    The Righteous

    After the Second World War, the term Righteous Among Nations was used to
    indicate non-Jews who acted heroically at risk of their lives and without personal
    interest to save even one Jew from the Nazi genocide of the Shoah. Oskar
    Schindler was a German entrepreneur. He is remembered for saving over 1 000
    Jews during the Second World War from the extermination of the Shoah, for this
    he was declared righteous

    Our text about religions

    Dear children,
    We beleive that every person who belongs to a religious community should cultivate a peacful theology and anthropology by drawing on our religious principles and the best part of our tradition.
    Everyone's duty is to know that he must respect the religion of his followmen.
    Also any form of violence perpetrated in the name of religion just as any other crime, is considered a crime against humanity.
    Religion isadivine gift that brings peace to our hearts, heals our woundw and brings the people of this earh closer together.
    The European Institutions responsible for the dialogue of religions should therefore support it and not undermine it.
