Posted at WhiteHouse dot-gov as Presidential Statement (Press Office):
Today, with heavy hearts, we remember the six million Jews and the millions
of other victims of Nazi brutality who were murdered during the Holocaust.
Yom HaShoah is a day to reaffirm our responsibilities to ourselves and future
generations. It is incumbent upon us to make real those timeless words, “Never
forget. Never again.” Yet, even as we recognize that mankind is capable of
unspeakable acts of evil, we also draw strength from the survivors, the
liberators, and the righteous among nations who represented humanity at its
best.
With their example to guide us, together we must firmly and forcefully
condemn the anti-Semitism that is still far too common today. Together we must
stand against bigotry and hatred in all their forms. And together, we can leave
our children a world that is more just, more free, and more secure for all
humankind.
