During this solemn week of remembrance, the President of the United States issued a proclamation urging the nation to remember the victims of the Holocaust. The President emphasized honoring the memory of the six million Jewish men, women, and children who perished under the Nazi regime, along with other targeted groups, including the Roma and Sinti, individuals with disabilities, and others.
The nation recently marked the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. "During these Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, we once again honor every Holocaust survivor who has imparted their wisdom to younger generations. Today and every day, we commit to preserving their stories."
The President highlighted ongoing concerns about anti-Semitism, noting recent instances of harassment in the United States. "Sadly, our Nation has borne witness to the worst outbreak of anti-Semitism on American soil in generations."
In response, the President's administration has taken measures, such as signing an Executive Order to counter anti-Semitic harassment in educational institutions. "For that reason, my Administration is proudly upholding the basic truth that anti-Semitism has no place in a civilized society."
The proclamation includes a call for the public to participate in remembrance activities from April 20 to 27, 2025, to ensure that the lessons from this dark chapter of history are retained. "NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby ask the people of the United States to observe the Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust."
The document ends with the President's signature and a reaffirmation to never forget the atrocities of the Holocaust, stating, "We declare that never again means now."
