will the Har Nof Synagogue Massacre soon be forgotten?

I saw this article, remembering the victims of the Har Nof Synagogue Massacre. The yahrtzeit is around now, the secular date was November 18 with the Hebrew date approaching on 25 Cheshvan.

It reminded me of a comment I recently heard regarding the possible name change of the Har Nof neighborhood from Har Nof to Naot Yosef.

Some people are opposed to the name change, or at least cautious and disturbed by it. They are concerned that if the name of the neighborhood is changed, in 10 years or 20 years or at some point people will not even remember the name Har Nof and won't know what it is. The massacre that has come to be known as the Har Nof massacre, or Har Nof terror attack, will not be remembered or identified by people, as they won't even know what Har Nof is.

  1. So ironic, since Har Nof is built partially on the ruins of Deir Yassin, where another real massacre happened. That got all but erased from history too.
