WASHINGTON - Message to Iran? US President Barack Obama issued a statement on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day Friday, pledging to ensure that the Shoah is never forgotten or repeated.
"Together with the State of Israel, and all our friends around the world, we dedicate ourselves to giving meaning to those powerful words: 'Never Forget. Never Again,'" Obama said.
"Michelle and I join people in the United States, in Israel, and across the globe as we remember the six million Jews and millions of others who were murdered at the hands of the Nazis," the president said. "We commit ourselves to keeping their memories alive not only in our thoughts, but through our actions."
Obama pledged to fight Holocaust deniers, noting that "as we celebrate the strength and resilience of survivors, we pledge to stand strong against all those who would commit atrocities, against the resurgence of anti-Semitism, and against hatred in all its forms." » | Yitzhak Benhorin | Friday, January 27, 2012
