This morning, the state of South Australia received something deeply moving from Holocaust survivor, Andrew Steiner.
It’s a handmade statue of Andrew with a note saying:
“On the 16th of October 1944, as an 11 year old boy, I was standing with my hands raised waiting to be executed.
Here I am……. ”
81 years later, Andrew spends his time at the Adelaide Holocaust Museum, sharing his survival story to students to combat antisemitism.
We want more young people to understand where antisemitism leads, and why it is never acceptable in our state.
Andrew has a simple but powerful message:
“Children are not born with hatred.
It’s an acquired habit.
Never hate anybody, treat everybody the way you wish to be treated.”
There’s so much we can learn from it.
And by expanding our funding to the Museum, Andrew’s message can reach more students than ever before.
