US President Joe Biden warns that the threat of antisemitism is growing, in remarks honoring the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust, as his support for Israel’s war against Hamas divides his Democratic Party.

“Never again simply translated for me means: Never forget. Never forgetting means we must keep telling the story, we must keep teaching the truth,” Biden says as he addresses a bipartisan memorial held at the US Capitol’s Emancipation Hall. “The truth is we’re at risk of people not knowing the truth.”
