Today, the United States joins countries around
the world in remembering the six million Jews who were
systematically murdered in the Holocaust, as well as the
millions of others the Nazis marked for persecution and mass
murder.
As we commemorate the liberation of the Nazi
death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, we reaffirm a solemn and
moral truth: all human beings are valuable and endowed by
their Creator with inherent dignity and certain unalienable
rights.
This enduring commitment, expressed in our
annual commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance
Day, reflects our resolve, in the words of President Trump,
to “build a society that always values the sanctity of
every human life and the dignity of every faith.” The
United States will always counter antisemitism worldwide,
champion justice for Holocaust survivors and heirs, and
defend the integrity of Holocaust
memory.
