The event highlighted importance to maintain memory about millions of innocent victims of the Holocaust as well as to keep commitment to principles of tolerance, compassion and to joint efforts to promote peace. A special tribute was paid to a figure of Raoul Wallenberg – a Swedish diplomat, who in Nazi-occupied Hungary has risked his life and used his diplomatic cover to save tens of thousands of Jews and who was abducted from Budapest by the Soviet NKVD (later-KGB) after the end of the war. Also it was underlined that Raoul Wallenberg’s later fate and details of his death in Russian prisons remains unknown despite of numerous and continuing efforts of the international community. At the commemoration ceremony the participants also listened a story of a Holocaust survivor and lighted a candle of memory.
