Rep. Zeldin Statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day:

“Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we reflect on the atrocity against humanity that occurred several decades ago at the hands of the worst form of evil targeting Jews and other innocent men, women and children. Ultimately, good triumphed evil, but not before millions of lives were unfathomably cut short, tearing apart families, communities and nations. As a member of the Holocaust Memorial Council, a Jewish man and a human being, my wish is, by remembering this tragedy, we learn that the silence and indifference to the suffering of others, even unwittingly, only provides undeserving protection for the inexcusable acts of others which are horribly unjust.”
