Last week, I was grateful to serve on a congressional delegation to Poland and Israel, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with colleagues Eliot Engel, Chairwoman Nita Lowey, Chairman Ted Deutch, with Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Brad Schneider. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we saw, firsthand, the horrors of the innocent Jews at the death camps. From the ashes of German Nazism and despotic Soviet communism, Poland is now a dynamic, prosperous democracy. We were welcomed to Jerusalem by Ambassador David Friedman, then meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the Fifth World Holocaust Forum, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin introduced Vice President Mike Pence, President Emmanuel Macron, Prince Charles, and President Vladimir Putin. Heads of state from over 30 countries attended, and I and fellow co-chair of the Bulgarian Caucus, Brad Schneider, were honored to be with President Rumen Radev with our alliance for freedom. America's associations with Poland and Israel have never been stronger, citing President Trump's placing 5,000 American troops in Poland to deter further Russian aggression and Israel still celebrating his moving of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
