Wednesday was the anniversary of Israel's independence in 1948.In the Nevada at the governor’s mansion, they used the day to remember the six million Jewish people who were lost in the Holocaust.
The event called Yom HaShoah remembers the 6 million Jewish people who were lost in the holocaust. It has been a tradition since 2013, for the governor to attend a Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony. Holocaust survivors were flown in to recall their own stories of the horrific conditions they experienced during the Holocaust. Governor Steve Sisolak and his wife were there, as well at the state’s attorney general.
The Nazis also imprisoned and killed millions of others including: gypsies, homosexuals, blacks, as well as Jews. At the event, people took time to tell stories about what happened and remember those who were lost. “Never again. We have to keep repeating that and tell the world what could happen again if we let it. We don't want hate in this world anymore,” said Holocaust survivor Raymond Fiol. “These stories have to be in schools. Kids have to be educated on this. So that it doesn't happen again. We don't want to repeat the same mistakes. You have to stand up. It's important that these stories continue to be told,” said Governor Sisolak.
The governor made it a point during the event that he will push for schools to continue to teach about the Holocaust and the genocide of World War 2. So that it does not happen again.
