President Pavel: Humanity has a poor track record in learning from history
Humanity tends to forget patterns and events leading to tragic outcomes, President Petr Pavel stated at a Holocaust Remembrance Day event at Prague Castle. He warned against intolerance, the rise of disinformation, and societal divisions that could lead to future conflicts. “Holocaust didn’t happen overnight. Despite extensive analysis, people forget the signs that led to it,” Pavel said. He emphasized the importance of educating younger generations through art and storytelling to convey the horrors of dehumanization. The event also highlighted the Holocaust’s lessons and the importance of vigilance to prevent history from repeating itself.
