This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, California mourns the six million Jewish lives brutally taken and the millions of others horrifically murdered by the Nazis.

We must tell the truth about this atrocity and fight antisemitism and all hatred — without exception.

Today, we mourn the six million Jews and countless others murdered during the Holocaust.

This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recommit ourselves to honoring their memories and standing up to antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.
