WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) released the following statement in acknowledgment of Yom HaShoah–Holocaust Remembrance Day 2024:

"Much has changed in the past year. On October 7, 2023, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s Southern Border with genocidal intentions, committed heinous war crimes, took hundreds of hostages, and carried-out the worst mass-murder of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

"Within months, the vile scourge of anti-Semitism has swept across our nation and Jewish students are being intimidated, assaulted, and blocked from living their lives, simply because of their religious identity. This is profoundly un-American and this must end NOW.

"On this day, we come together to honor the memories of the six million Jews and countless others who were senselessly and systematically murdered during the Holocaust. 'Never Again' is so much more than a slogan. This Yom HaShoah, 'Never Again' is NOW. And you have my unwavering support in ensuring our nation stands firmly in defense of the Jewish people."
