At a candle-lighting ceremony for Yom HaShoah, six candles were lit for the six million murdered Jews during the Holocaust; one candle was lit for the non-Jews who perished; and one was ignited for those whom Roz Rothstein, CEO of StandWithUs, described as “victims of Palestinian terrorism.”
“Remembering the Holocaust is a priority to each one of us in this room tonight,” Rothstein said. “We are all here together to remember, to share our grief, to learn something new, to be inspired, and hopefully to recommit to sharing information about the Holocaust with others, to help fight the dangers of ignorance.”
