Pence: World can only marvel at faith and resilience of Jewish people
US Vice President Mike Pence tells the World Holocaust Forum: “It is deeply humbling for me to stand here before you today on behalf of the American people. We gather to fulfill a solemn obligation, the obligation of remembrance.”
He says: “Today we pause to remember what President Donald Trump rightly called ‘the dark stain on human history.'”
Pence adds that “the world can only marvel at the faith and resilience of the Jewish people. And I am proud to say that the American people have been with you every step of the way. And so will we remain.”
