Political Quotes

“I rise today to recognize Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. All over the world, people like south Floridian David Mermelstein, who is currently in Poland on the March of the Living, are honoring the memories of all those who suffered and died. We must also redouble our commitment to the survivors who are still with us.

It is unacceptable that billions are still owed to deserving survivors and that many insurers have made it nearly impossible for beneficiaries to collect their payments.

I urge my colleagues to honor the dead as well as the living and take action to return what is due to the Holocaust survivors. ____________________”
