President Biden cautioned against ignoring history and warned against a “resurgence of antisemitism,” saying “hate doesn’t go away; it only hides” in a statement honoring International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The big picture: Biden invoked the recent Colleyville, Texas, synagogue standoff and the 2017 tragedy in Charlottesville, Virginia, as present-day reminders of antisemitism and the pressing need to “ensure that bigotry and hate receive no safe harbor, at home and around the world.”
Biden will meet with Bronia Brandman, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, later on Thursday.
What he’s saying: “We must teach accurately about the Holocaust and push back against attempts to ignore, deny, distort, and revise history—as we did this month, when the United States co-sponsored a UN resolution that charged the international community with combating Holocaust denial through education,” Biden said.
