 Gwneud yma. The first item of business this afternoon is Time for Reflection and our Time for Reflection leader today is Dr Maureen Cyllidog, director of Interfaith Scotland. Members of the Scottish Parliament, thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today on behalf of Interfaith Scotland and the Holocaust Memorial day trust. Today is 17 January. It was on 17 January 1945 that SS units began to noon as the gyda gennym ni'r droswgchweithio hwybr yn cyfioad, roeddwyr i gweithio argyth i'r ddweud dros ymddangos. Fy fyddai yma wedi ychydig asti agosgall y Cyfridd. Mae'r parwb hynny ei fyddai amser yn cair i gael, mae prydyn ni wedi sicrhau hynny i'r blaen o'r impact o'r amddangos. Felly rydyn ni'n ei wneud i chi'n ffordd ar gyfer ni, yn ffynoedd yng nghy neutr, 72 yng nghyrch agos ffyrdd agos. Next week, Scotland will remember the holocaust and subsequent genocides. Speaking at the National Memorial event and Bishop Riggs academy, we'll be daughter of holocaust survivor, Saskia Tepe and survivor of the Rwandan Genocide, Omar Tasey Stewart. The theme this year is how can life go on? A question that survivors must ask themselves. It's a question that we in Scotland must also ask ourselves, when we consider the asylum seekers who arrive in our country, many having already suffered war, deprivation and trauma. Just how can life go on when any sense of normality is removed? Holocaust survivor, Ellie Weisle said. For the survivor, death is not the problem. Death was an everyday occurrence. We learned to live with death. The problem is to adjust to life, to living. I've often thought how difficult it must be to adjust to life after devastating trauma. My own mother-in-law struggled to adjust to life after being sent on the kinder transport to the UK and then learning that her parents had been killed in Hitler's gas chambers. Later, unable to adjust to family life, she walked out on her children while they were still infants. And it was only at her funeral 12 years later that the children actually learned they were Jewish. Living on can be a struggle that impacts on future generations. And what does this mean for all of us? How do we help individuals, families and communities live on aftermath of terror and displacement? Scotland is home to many who are living on away from their homeland, sometimes facing discrimination and always living with memories and loss. It's easy for us to feel overwhelmed with the magnitude of suffering and become paralysed by it. But I have read stories of how small acts of kindness during the Holocaust gave someone the will to live on. And I have witnessed asylum seekers weep at a kindly gesture. Never underestimate the power of simply being kind. I'd like to end with an adapted poem by Naomi Nye. Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness, you must travel where the refugee lies dead by the side of the road. You must see how this could be you, how he too was someone who journeyed through the night with plans and the simple breath that kept him alive. Before you know kindness as the deepest thing, you must also know sorrow. Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore. Only kindness that ties your shoes and sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread. Only kindness that raises its head from the crown of the world to say, it is I you have been looking for and then goes with you everywhere like a shadow or a friend. Thank you.
