International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the 
liberation of the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz.
  Today serves as a somber and grim reminder of the evil mankind is 
capable of as over 1.3 million people were systematically murdered in 
Auschwitz alone, including over 1.1 million Jews. As painful as it is 
to speak about the horrors of Auschwitz, we have a moral obligation to 
honor the memories of those who were murdered during modern humanity's 
darkest period.
  As anti-Semitism grows throughout Europe, we must take a solemn vow 
that these deaths were not in vain and that we will never forget, that 
we will never allow such atrocities to occur again.
