Questions & Answers (notes)

1. Prečo by vás to malo zaujímať v roku 2025? (Why should you care in 2025?)

Skvelá otázka. Neboli ste tam. Bolo to pred 80 rokmi. (Great question. You weren’t there. It was 80 years ago.)

• Sloboda je krehká. (Freedom is fragile.)

• Nenávisť je nebezpečná. (Hate is dangerous.)

• História sa opakuje pokiaľ si ju nepamätáme. (History repeats itself unless we remember it.)

2. Čo by sme si mali pamätať? (What should we remember?)

Obyčajní ľudia dokážu odvážne veci. (Ordinary people can do brave things.)

Mier je niečo, čo si zachovávame, nielen niečo, čo dostávame. Je to práca. Pre každého. (Peace is something we keep, not just something we get. It’s a job. For everyone.)

Máte hlas. Použite to. Ozvite sa, ak vidíte nespravodlivosť, nenávisť alebo diskrimináciu. (You have a voice. Use it. Speak up if you see injustice, hate, or discrimination.)

3. Aký je teda odkaz pre vašu generáciu? (So, what's the message for your generation?)

Buďte láskaví. Buďte zvedaví. Pýtajte sa. Pamätajte na príbehy. (Be kind. Be curious. Ask questions. Remember stories.)

Pretože najlepší spôsob, ako si uctiť 80 rokov mieru, je zabezpečiť, aby mier zostal aj naďalej. (Because the best way to honor 80 years of peace is to make sure it stays peaceful.

A možno sa niekedy poďakuj svojim prastarým rodičom. Videli veci, ktoré my už nikdy nechceme vidieť. (And maybe tell your great-grandparents thank you sometime. They’ve seen things we never want to see again.)
