Trump marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day by honoring the millions murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.
The message recalls the January 27, 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and describes the cruelty and mass killing that happened there.
It recognizes other groups targeted for murder, including Roma people, Slavs, people with disabilities, religious leaders, LGBTQ people, and political prisoners.
Trump says the federal government will use available legal tools to combat anti-Semitism and support Jewish Americans’ right to practice their faith without fear.
The statement urges ongoing remembrance, respect for survivors, and a commitment to human dignity so such atrocities are not repeated.
