Holocaust Centre Strongly Condemn Christchurch Mosque Attack

The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand strongly condemns the acts of violence that have taken place in Christchurch over the past few hours. We are devastated by the news that our fellow citizens can be attacked in a place of worship and peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the wider Muslim community.

We say to all New Zealanders, that acts of hate have no place in our society, and to stand in solidarity against people who believe they do. It is our responsibility to care for, respect and protect everyone and we all have the right to feel as safe in a place of worship as we do in our own homes.

“Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” Yehuda Bauer
