Today we recognize International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which marks the Jan. 27, 1945 liberation of Auschwitz. As Elie Wiesel said, "To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time." pic.twitter.com/Nsli6qKcjS

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
As we reflect on the hatred and lies that led to the death of millions, we cannot ignore the prevalence of those same sentiments in today’s society.
We cannot allow such a future here in America.#WeRemember
