There was a time in the twentieth century when bigotry and racial hatred ruled, when the human suffering of millions went unnoticed by the world, when human dignity was systematically destroyed and when humanity seemed to have lost its way., Then the world awoke!, Lest the world forget!, Here set in bronze for our children and our children's children is the conscience of humanity., Lest the world forget!, Here set in bronze is the legacy of remembrance., Lest the world forget!, Here is the consciousness that the path of humanity must be the path toward peace, tolerance and human understanding.
