Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and exactly 78 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.

We in Israel mark this event by honoring the sacred memory of those who perished at the hands of a murderous Nazi regime. #WeRemember pic.twitter.com/OZ5YiKV2Xt

Together with European Parliament President @RobertaMetsola, we inaugurated the parliament's first permanent Holocaust memorial: the painting "The Refugee" from Yad Vashem's collection, by artist Felix Nussbaum, who was murdered in Auschwitz. pic.twitter.com/VDlDPhRzH9

Today, Jill and I pause to mourn the lives of those murdered during the Holocaust.

We’ll continue to face down the hate and lies that carry terrifying echoes of one of the worst chapters in our history.

And for generations to come, we will defend dignity for all human beings.

I’m still processing what I saw today at Auschwitz. It was emotional. Displays of children’s shoes. Piles of women’s hair.
 
We must educate the next generation on the horrors of the Holocaust and call out those who deny it. pic.twitter.com/a6NjlTvYqd

Saying “never again” is not enough. As we honour the memory of the more than six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust and the countless other victims of Nazi atrocities, we must also take concrete action to combat antisemitism and hatred. https://t.co/b4j3Nf1Ndr

Tonight we #LightTheDarkness, remembering the six million Jewish men, women and children systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, all victims of Nazi persecution and the victims of subsequent genocides. #WeRemember #HolocaustMemorialDay pic.twitter.com/TraCjXFgHP

An enormous honour to meet Arek.

His message is a powerful reminder of our duty to remember the truth of the Holocaust and to fight antisemitism and hatred of all forms.

This #HolocaustMemorialDay, please listen to his words. https://t.co/xZsLrS9yUy

We will always remember the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust.

But remembrance is not an aim in itself.

We must go a step further.

Let us fight antisemitism, which is on the rise today.

And let us make Jewish life prosper in an open, equal EU society. pic.twitter.com/kzrkKVqa8q
