For that purpose, we received the positive command to keep in us the aversion of Amalek and what it represents, as well as the negative command to forget him never.
Sabbath Zakhor is thus in direct relation with the party of Purim which celebrates the victory of the Jewish people against Haman who was a descendant of Amalek. Our Wise men declared: the memory of Amalek must be mentioned during the reading of this paracha then erased during the party of Purim.
