President of the United States, Joe Biden– he said not without reason International Holocaust Remembrance Day that this year the memory of the barbarities committed by the Nazis is “more relevant than ever” due to the attacks carried out by Hamas October 7, the devastating consequences of which he also called don’t “minimize”.

“We must, without exception, resist any attempt to ignore, deny, distort or revise history. This includes Holocaust denial and efforts to minimize the horrors committed by Hamasparticularly the brutal and inexcusable use of rape and sexual violence to terrorize victims,” he said in a statement.

Biden expressed regret about “pure evil” that Israel suffered from October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and took about 240 hostages, “among them were Holocaust survivors,” the Jewish term used to refer to the Holocaust. These attacks, he added, “were worst atrocity committed against the Jewish people in one day since the Holocaust.”
