TRUMP ON INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST DAY:
Posted on
USA President Donald Trump on 26 Jan. 2018 condemned the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust, in a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. "Tomorrow marks the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi death and concentration camp in Poland. We take this opportunity to recall the Nazis’ systematic persecution and brutal murder of six million Jewish people. In their death camps and under their inhuman rule, the Nazis also enslaved and killed millions of Slavs, Roma, people with disabilities, priests and religious leaders, and others who courageously opposed their brutal regime,” said Trump. "Our Nation is indebted to the Holocaust’s survivors. Despite the trauma they carry with them, they continue to educate us by sharing their experiences, strength and wisdom. Although they are aging and their numbers are slowly dwindling, their stories remain with us, giving us the strength to combat intolerance, including anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry and discrimination,” he continued. "Every generation must learn and apply the lessons of the Holocaust to prevent new horrors against humanity from occurring.” (Arutz-7) Pray that the battles raging on many fronts against anti-Semitic violence and abuse will be won - and that those who perpetrate such hatred will be severely penalized.
