REFLECTING UPON THE HEROISM OF VICTIMS AND RESCUERS ON HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

This is a magnificent gesture from the leader of the country that leads the free world.

Holocaust Remembrance Day gives us an opportunity to commemorate and honor the memory of the victims of the Nazi persecution, one of the darkest chapters in human history.

The importance of this day was recently underscored by US President Donald Trump, who published an official call to the people of the United States to “observe the Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, April 28 through May 5, 2019, and the solemn anniversary of the liberation of Nazi death camps, with appropriate study, prayers and commemoration, and to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution by remembering the lessons of this atrocity so that it is never repeated”.
