There is more to it. For example learning not to sleepwalk into regime changes that then trigger such desasters. Or learning not to appease external aggressors until they can no longer be contained.
Small problems must be solved before they have turned into big problems (Lao Tse).
Thats the point both for civilization and society, and for bilateral relations between nations and their societies.
Not allowing/causing/wanting needless wars for the wrong, unnecessary reasons, and not allowing those pushing these kind of desasters for their personal reasons to gain power and influence. Thats is what is to be learned.
Else there wil be more days of rememberance in the future than originally would have been needed. Differentiating between conflicts that cannot be avoided and must be fought out and won, and conflicts that are needlessly wanted: and early recognising developements and factors that lead the world onto slippery slopes.
Learn...! Remembering is not enough, and just leads to history repeating itself. Its like public mournings after another school shooting, or public gatherings after another religious or racist attack on somebody wearing a Kippa. This is routine by now. Hollow, meaningless, show. Petrified ritual.
That is not enough - and makes mockery of those who suffered and died.
