President Trump marked Hanukkah Thursday evening at a White House reception that included eight survivors of the Holocaust.
In an East Room event, Mr. Trump recalled the fatal mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in October, calling it a “sinister anti-Semitic attack.â€
“In the aftermath of that wicked assault, we reaffirmed our solemn duty to confront anti-Semitism everywhere it occurs,†the president said. “We must stamp out this vile hatred from the world.â€
The president then introduced eight Holocaust survivors, calling the era “history’s darkest hour.†He told the survivors that they inspire the world with their courage, and that they had seen “evil beyond description.â€
The White House identified the survivors as Sara Censor, Bertha Einhorn, David Einhorn, Ethel Flam, Gita Landau, Dolly Rabinowitz, Ruth Salamon and Zahava Ungar.
Mr. Trump was criticized last year for issuing a Holocaust remembrance statement that neglected to mention Jews or anti-Semitism.
