Never again

Common card · No. 223407

"Never again" is a phrase or slogan associated with the Holocaust and genocide. The slogan was used by liberated prisoners at Buchenwald concentration camp to denounce fascism. The exact meaning of the phrase is debated, including whether it should be used as a particularistic command to avert a second Holocaust of Jews or whether it is a universalist injunction to prevent all forms of genocide. It was popularized by far-right Jewish paramilitary leader Meir Kahane in his 1971 book, Never Again! A Program for Survival. It has been widely used by politicians and writers, also appearing on many Holocaust memorials. It has also been utilized as a political slogan for other causes, from commemoration of the 1976 Argentine coup, the promotion of gun control or abortion rights, and as an injunction to war on terror after the September 11 attacks.
