"We give voice to the 6 million Jews who were systematically targeted and murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War Two. We honor the memory of victims, the pain of survivors, the bravery of heroes who stood up to Hitler’s unspeakable evil. And we recommit to heading and heeding the lessons that [of] one of the darkest chapters in human history, to revitalize and realize the responsibility of “never again.” --US President Joe Biden
POLITICS: It is in view of the attacks by pro-Palestinian protesters that the White House has taken into consideration the concerns for preventing attacks against Jews , including those who are students in attendance on campuses currently engaging protests. Today, in celebration of Holocaust Remembrance Day, President Joe Biden and administration has welcomed the US Holocaust Memorial Museum officials to engage in an annual ceremony. By Michelle Crawford-Sapenter "To the Jewish community, I want you to know I see your fear, your hurt, and your pain.
Let me reassure you, as your President, you are not alone. You belong. You always have, and you always will." --US President Joe Biden
Today, in accordance with the steps being taken to reflect on the Holocaust, President Joe Biden has marked the day of ceremonial events with a speech delivered during the USHMM event. "No one should have to hide or be brave just to be themselves. "
"Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous, they cannot be muri- — buried, no matter how hard people try. --US President Joe Biden
During his speech, President Biden reflected on the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests that have created unrest in the United States. The President commented, today during the US Holocaust Memorial Museum ceremony that violence is not peaceful protest. Biden added that "there is no place on college campuses and no place in America for antisemitism"
As the war in Israel rages on and in the United States, antisemitic protest persists, the nation must not forget that which had been fought for in the 1st world war that stood for the rights of Jewish American and, most especially, those who have been subjected to hatred, denial of the right to life and ultimately, an imposed death of 6 million Jewish people at the hand of a war criminal no less determined to the annihilation of human life and no less deadly than the Hamas regime that took action on October 7 launching 2000 missiles against Israel and its people that which today continues in its fight to end the lives of Jews in Israel.
President Biden commented in reference to his father's teachings on the Shoah; an 11 hour film depicting the horrific details associated with the Holocaust. Biden spoke in reference to the Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem. Biden commented, "I took my grandchildren to Dachau, so they could see and bear witness to the perils of indifference, the complicity of silence in the face of evil that they knew was happening. Biden commented in regard to the "ancient history of hatred..." against Jews that did not begin with Hitler and the German concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings brought to an end by US and NATO intervention that ended the Holocaust. Today, as persistent as any racial hatred, antisemitism prevails. In view of the ongoing war brought against Israel during which on October 7, 1200 Jews were killed in a war brought on by the heinous acts of the Palestine-backed Hamas militia which, having launched a sudden attack against Israel , launching 2000 missiles, Biden commented stating, innocent people — babies, parents, grandparents — slaughtered in their kibbutz, massacred at a musical festival, brutally raped, mutilated, and sexually assaulted. Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets, and shrapnel from the memory of that terrible day they endured. Hundreds taken hostage, including survivors of the Shoah. Hamas "...unleashed the terror..." that, now, reigns and has, apparently, brought a fierce response of the unexpected Israeli's sophisticated military resistance against Hamas attacks of deadly violence. "It’s absolutely despicable, and it must stop...Silence and denial can hide much , but it can erase nothing." US President Joe Biden On campuses, today, Jewish students are being blocked, harassed and attacked while walking to class. Comparable to the Holocaust, people are attempting to downplay, deny and defy and responsibility on the part of Palestine even in view of the October 7 attack which, in the measure of deadly violence, compares to the Holocaust. President Biden stated that there is one thing that can erase antisemitism and that thing is "all of us." Biden commented in reference to a quote by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks who referred to racism as a virus that we cannot allow to spread. Biden stating, "We have we have an obligation to learn the lessons of history so we don’t surrender our future to the horrors of the past." President Biden reiterated his theme that stands in opposition to race hatred on all levels. President Biden stated, "We must give race hatred no harbor against anyone..." In the words of a great Jewish American, Tom Lantos, the phrase uttered was, “The veneer of civilization is paper thin. We are its guardians, and we can never rest.”
