Bolton visits Yad Vashem, takes part in Holocaust memorial ceremony

US President Donald Trump’s top security aide visits the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, where he takes part in a memorial ceremony remembering the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust.

“In memory of the greatest tragedy which the spirit and resilience of the Jewish people has overcome, to help us prevent its like from ever happening again… to anyone,” National Security Adviser John Bolton writes in the guestbook, according to a statement from Yad Vashem.

Bolton arrived in Israel on Sunday for a multi-day trip that has included talks on regional security issues with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman.
