President Joe Biden Visits Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum

Description

President Biden on Wednesday visited Israel’s national Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, taking part in a somber ceremony to honor the more than 6 million Jews who were killed by the Nazis during World War II. Mr. Biden watched the laying of a wreath and rekindled the eternal flame in the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem. He also spoke briefly with Gita Cycowiz and Rena Quint, two American Holocaust survivors, but he did not make any public remarks. Upon leaving, Mr. Biden signed the guest book. “We must never, ever forget because hate is never defeated. It only hides. We must teach every successive generation that it can happen again unless we remember,” Mr. Biden wrote.
