Summary/Abstract: The Holocaust critically shook the foundations of monotheistic religion, revealing its failure to prevent mass atrocities and highlighting the urgent need for organized religion to become a voice of ethical responsibility and a safeguard of human dignity. The text emphasizes the role of hate speech as a precursor to violence and stresses that religion must actively engage in public discourse, confront cultural isolationism, and promote interreligious dialogue as a universal ethical mission. A holistic, empathetic approach to religious identity and communication is advocated as essential to resisting the misuse of religious language for ideological exclusion.
