Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins Statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day

“International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a moment to stop and reflect on one of the darkest chapters in human history. We remember the six million Jewish lives lost, the millions of others targeted, and the families and communities forever changed.

“In Westchester, remembrance means action through educating our children, speaking out against antisemitism and standing firmly against all forms of intolerance. We owe it to those who suffered and to future generations to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust guide us toward accountability and a society where every person is treated with dignity and respect.”
