Rivlin: ‘The future lies in the choices we make together’

Rivlin: “Tonight we will have the honor of hearing Professor Yehuda Bauer, academic adviser to Yad Vashem, and one of the world’s leading Holocaust experts. At a time when more and more survivors are leaving us, this gathering is an expression of our shared commitment to pass on the historical facts and lessons of the Shoah to the next generation.”

“Your Excellencies, The future lies in the choices we make, especially those we make together as countries and nations. I hope and pray that from this room, the message will go out to every country on Earth, that the leaders of the world will stand united together in the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and extremism, in defending democracy and democratic values. This is the call of our time. This is our challenge. This is our choice.”
