 Holocaust survivor Tommy Reichenthal gave a talk to students in DCU at an event hosted by the International Relations Society. Tommy spoke about his childhood and how Jewish people were treated as Slovakia slowly became under control of Nazis. He then recounted the day him and his family were taken to Bergen He finished his speech with a poem but encouraged the students of DCU to make peace with the past but to be wary not to be bystanders when it comes to racism and segregation. It's very important that we don't forget the Holocaust. I didn't speak about it for 55 years and now they can't stop me. I will speak till I care because it's very important. We have to learn from the past and what is happening today. It's very very sad that after 70 years people forgot and the history is repeating itself. Tommy has delivered talks like this to hundreds of groups of people over the years and mentioned how he's going to continue giving talks in order to educate people about racism, anti-semitism and segregation all of which he believes are still prevalent in society today.
