The announcement will be made alongside two of Israel's political leaders which are in competing parties but not certainly not opposing each other's beliefs, hinting that the plan is much larger than the individuals who engined it.
There is no other country in the world which manages to align the colours of its nation with its beliefs and religion into its worldwide diplomacy as Israel does. What makes any nation strong and keeps it alive is its ability to collect and hold hard records of its people throughout history.
Israel is not a country which can claim any particular reknown achievements in science, arts or sports, neither is it high positioned in world economics or trade. Yet, we all know quite a bit about this relative small country even if we do not all recognise its borders in the same manner. When we think of Israel, inevitably we are swiftly confronted with religious and territorial conflicts which tend t to overrule everything else.
Throughout history borders have been under dispute and countries have come and gone while names attributed to territories and populations remain or are reinvented. The world has seen exodus and genocides for as long as populations sought settlement and the human need to overpower others. But it is only since the 20th century and towards the end of WWII that humanity came to work on the notion of the massive killings of tribes and races.
We look at genocides in absolute numbers and not relative to world populations. Numbers, so great they almost become scaringly surreal, driven by even scarier distorted politicians.
In the 21st century there is certainly purpose to apply the mans we have and teach or remind the world of historical suffrage in the worst form possible.
Israel chose to commemorate the 75 years passed since then soviet soldiers reached the concentration camp on the outskirts of Brezinka in Poland and the world discovered what Nazi Germany had been undertaking alongside its military territorial warfare.
I once visited what is left of the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau and it is a must see location in order to get away with that surreal feeling generated by history lessons.
Time appears an inevitable factor for us insignificant humans and whereas the circumstances wherein colonisation and slavery as we have equally learned in history books have longe gone and ancient empires and civilisations tend to be romanticised, the horror of the Holocaust is the indescribable underlying modern and pragmatic extermination which made it happen.
I salute any individual, any organization, local, national and international that seeks to impose upon those living to commemorate those that died and suffered. I am impressed with the fact that Israel managed to roll out its biggest diplomatic event ever on this occasion.
One would hope however that with nearly 50 heads of state together in the same room, someone would rise to the occasion in search of some hopeful promise to wipe any risk of any one population seeking to empower another by any means from the face of the earth.
But ...... instead the event addresses anti-semitism and with the exception of some fitting words from whom represents Germany today, high profile speechers take the opportunity to point to present day Iran, feeding into some notion as if Iran 's sole purpose o existence is no other than to continue killing jews.
Sorry guys, but no one can buy or sell their way into any place of worship. It's not going to be great unless you truly employ your indeed fantastic historic and contemporary intelligence and start to look at the world as a whole.
