Rekindling hope for a better future: 80 years after Auschwitz

January 27, 2025

This Holocaust Memorial Day, 27 January, marks the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Pope Francis has stated publicly: “Let us forcefully reaffirm today that the seeds of anti-Semitism must never again be allowed to take root in the human heart. Remembering the suffering and tears of the victims of the Holocaust, let us repeat: never again!”.

To mark this important day, Thinking Faith, the online journal of the Jesuits in Britain, has published a reflection by Michael Barnes SJ who considers what a ‘better future’ – which is this year’s theme – looks like. Against the backdrop of a ceasefire in the Holy Land, he offers a powerful reflection on hope, hospitality and common humanity.
