The US President emphasized that Holocaust denial is anti-Semitism.

President Trump said at the Holocaust Memorial Service that we have a duty to never let that long dark night be repeated. Let us never forget the genocide of the Jewish people.

He added: "You went through a nightmare to tell us your story today."

The US President added: "6 million Jews were killed without mercy or compassion. Many families were separated and sent to prison."

Israel, a permanent memorial to the Jewish people

At the Memorial Day ceremony in the US Congress, he emphasized that as president, he would stand with the Jewish people and Israel and confront anti-Semitism.

He added: "The State of Israel is a permanent monument to the Jewish people."
