What does wiesel mean b saying that if we forget we are accomplices?

When Elie Wiesel states that forgetting leads to complicity, he emphasizes the moral responsibility to remember historical atrocities, such as the Holocaust. Forgetting these events diminishes their significance and allows for the repetition of such horrors. By not remembering, individuals and societies become passive participants in the perpetuation of injustice, failing to learn from the past and protect against future violations of human rights.
