Political Quotes

“This year marks the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi extermination camps. Over 1 million people were systematically murdered at Auschwitz in gas chambers or shot or tortured or starved to death or any cruel combination. Most of those who perished were Jews, but others that Nazis perceived as enemies were also murdered there. As we honor the victims of the Holocaust and those who helped to defeat the Nazis, we must also reaffirm our commitment to enhancing Holocaust education programs in our schools and urge all countries to bolster their efforts in fighting bigotry, racism and anti-Semitism. In the words of Elie Wiesel, who is an Auschwitz survivor, 'There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.' Let our voices be heard loudly and clearly. Never again. Tomorrow is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Let's honor their struggles every day.”
