US president describes brutality of Holocaust as ‘crime against God’
Donald Trump has paid tribute to people who “have devoted their lives to the preservation and security of the Jewish people” in a statement marking Holocaust Memorial Day.
The US president said to remember those who were murdered and survived the Holocaust was to strive to prevent such suffering from happening again, adding: “We remain committed to the post-Holocaust imperative, ‘Never Again’.”
His statement said: “We hold in our hearts the memory of every man, woman, and child who was abused, tortured, or murdered during the Holocaust.
“To remember these men and women – those who perished and those who survived – is to strive to prevent such suffering from happening again. Any denial or indifference to the horror of this chapter in the history of humankind diminishes all men and women everywhere and invites repetition of this great evil.
“‘Never Again’ means not only remembering – in a profound and lasting way – the evils of the Holocaust, but it also means remembering the individual men and women in this Nation, and throughout the world, who have devoted their lives to the preservation and security of the Jewish people and to the betterment of all mankind.”
