Yonkers Insider: NEWS: Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s Statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

 


NEWS: Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s Statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day.


Today, January 27th marks Holocaust Remembrance Day - a few months shy to the day of when the Holocaust ended 77 years ago. 

“I join the world in solemn reflection on this Holocaust Remembrance Day,” said Congressman Jamaal Bowman (NY-16). “Although the horrors of the Holocaust have since ended, our society has unfortunately failed to overcome hate and antisemitism — which were seen just this month when Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and members of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas were taken hostage. To pay my respects to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust, I recently visited the Yad Vashem – the World Holocaust Remembrance Center – in Israel. While there, I stood in silent contemplation and reflection surrounded by the faces and stories of those we lost. I thought about the pain and suffering the Jewish people endured then, and continue to endure today because of attacks like the one in Colleyville. It was a debilitating and chilling experience that tells the truth about genocide, dehumanization, and antisemitism — and the fear and hate that fuel them. Today and every day, we must surround the Jewish community with support and love. Regardless of one’s religion, political affiliation, race, class or socio-economic status, every person deserves to be treated with respect and should be able to feel safe living their day to day life, including at their place of worship. I will continue doing my part to lead by example and urge our community to join me in calling out antisemitism wherever and whenever it occurs, while working to uplift and support Jewish voices. We must commit to rooting out antisemitism, and hate of all kinds, in belief of a better tomorrow.”
