The truth must be told and it must be known. Considering how immensely tragic the Holocaust was, the least we can do is to speak the truth about it and remember it, so that we can learn something from it and avoid having something like that happen again. Those who have first-hand knowledge must share their knowledge while they still can. The Holocaust ended in 1945, which is now 64 years ago, so there are relatively few witnesses left.

What is meant to bear witness especially in reference to the Holocaust?
It means to tell the truth about what happened, and to speak out forcefully, so that those who did not live through it will learn about it, and so that (we hope) such a horrible event in human history will never happen again. For example, historians must bear witness by making sure accurate and understandable information is made available; and political leaders, especially those who want to hide the fact that their country participated in Hitler's plans, must stop avoiding the facts and speak honestly about what their country did to its Jewish citizens. Bearing witness also refers to those survivors, who are living witnesses of what occurred during the Holocaust: every year, fewer and fewer are still alive, so a number of documentary film-makers have recorded the recollections of the people who were there, to preserve their memories for the next generation to learn from.

Inimical witnesses can significantly impact the outcome of a case by influencing the judge or jury through their biased testimony.
