Colleyville Synagogue Attack Reminder of Work to be Done on Holocaust Remembrance Day --
"To have it be in Colleyville, so close to home, was really disturbing for, you know, people throughout the Jewish community, not just in North Texas, but all over the world,” she said.
That's why, in a space created by those who survived the worst of human behavior, the mission to inspire the best of it continues in hopes of a brighter future. "If we can help people understand how dangerous it is to be a bystander, to look the other way and do nothing, and also encourage them to stand up in prejudice and to prejudice and hatred when they see it in their daily lives, then I think that we can work towards a future where there will be less and less risk of letting something like this ever happen again,” said Higgins.
