“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. » Director Steven Spielberg said this during the ceremony organized for the anniversary of USC Holocaust Foundation in Los Angeles. The Foundation, founded by the filmmaker in 1994 after directing the film Schindler's List, is a non-profit organization dedicated to conducting audiovisual interviews with survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides. During the event, Spielberg said he was “alarmed” that “we may be condemned to repeat history: having to fight once again for the right to be Jewish,” the director was quoted as saying by Israel Times, addressing the audience -. In the face of brutality and persecution, we have always been a resilient and compassionate people who understand the power of empathy. We can denounce the heinous acts committed by terrorists on October 7 and also deplore the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza. » During the ceremony, attended by more than 30 Holocaust survivors, the American director then underlined how the work of his foundation is even “more crucial today than it was in 1994, in the aftermath of the terrible massacre of October 7″ and to “put an end to political violence caused by disinformation, conspiracy theories and ignorance. This is crucial because stopping the rise of anti-Semitism and hatred of all kinds is crucial to the health of our democratic republic and to the future of democracy in the civilized world. »
