    Remarks During a Visit to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem
    January 11, 2008

        Mr. President and Mr. Prime
    Minister, thank you for your wonderful
    hospitality. I would hope as many people in the world would come to this
    place, it would be a sobering reminder that evil exists and a call that
    when we find evil, we must resist it. It also is a--I guess I came away
    with this impression, that I was most impressed that people, in the face
    of horror and evil, would not forsake their God, that in the face of
    unspeakable crimes against humanity, brave souls, young and old, stood
    strong for what they believe.
        It's an honor to be here. It is a moving experience, and it is a
    living memory that is important. Thank you, sir.

    Note: The President spoke at 9:43 a.m. In his remarks, he referred to
    President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel; and
    Avner Shalev, chairman, Yad Vashem Directorate.
