"Remember the Holocaust"

That's the mantra we hear on Veteran's Day, and in any class we take on Modern World History. "Remember the Holocaust." Remember, so that we will never let it happen again. That's what we tell our students, that's what we tell our friends, that's what we tell ourselves.

But we aren't remembering the Holocaust. Because to remember the Holocaust, and for that memory to be a preventative measure against any future Holocaust, we cannot dwell in the tragedy of the past. We must be vigilant in defending against tragedy in the future. In the present. That's how you honor the...

On 10 December:
Celebrate Human Rights Day and the 60the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Stand up with people all over the world who want to make human rights a reality for everyone.

Every human has rights. That is the essence of our humanity. It places on each of us the duty to stand up, not just for our own rights but also for those of others - and to help turn the vision of the UDHR into a reality. That is the spirit of international solidarity. That is the true meaning of universal, indivisible human rights.

On this significant anniversary, people will be gathering together in hundreds of places all over the globe, to light a candle, fire or flame as part of a mass demonstration. On Human Rights Day, stand up for human rights and show your solidarity with people all over the world who are committed to making human rights a reality for everyone.

NOTE: I screened all of these entries personally. If you submitted a poem, but don't see it up here, it's because you didn't follow one of the link. If I doubted a poem's relation to the theme and asked you to justify it, and you did not justify it at all, or well, then you won't find your poem here. If you didn't reply to my questions asking you to fix your poem so it fit into the five rules linked above, then your poem won't be here. This is to clear up any confusion.

If, however, you did follow all the rules and don't see it up here, it was probably due to human error, so by all means e-mail...
