After earlier omission, Trump mourns murder of 6 million Jews in video message to World Jewish Congress

By Abby Phillip April 23 at 7:26 PM

Speaking in a video message taped for the meeting of the World Jewish Congress, President Trump noted the murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust, correcting his administration's omission of that fact from an International Holocaust Remembrance Day statement issued in his name earlier in the year.

"On Yom HaShoah we look back at the darkest chapter of human history," Trump said in the video, which was played Sunday night during the plenary assembly of the WJC in New York. "We mourn, we remember, we pray and we pledge: Never again. I say it, never again.

"The mind cannot fathom the pain, the horror and the loss. Six million Jews, two-thirds of the Jews in Europe, murdered by the Nazi genocide," he added. "They were murdered by an evil that words cannot describe and that the human heart cannot bear."

The comments would not have drawn note had it not been for a statement issued by the White House to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27 that did not mention the Jewish people.
