At the conclusion of the visit, Premier Baird wrote a poignant message in the Yad Vashem Guest Book:
“On behalf of the people of NSW (New South Wales) we say how sorry we are. The whole humanity must learn thought your unimaginable pain. We know what overcomes the darkness, but we must always remember that for evil to triumph, good men and women must do nothing. Never again can we do nothing.”
Ambassador Sharma wrote: “With deepest appreciation for the important task you perform in honoring loss, preserving memory and sanctifying life.
