“I spoke on behalf of the six million Jews slaughtered in the Holocaust and also for one personal individual, my wife’s grandfather who survived the holocaust and I told his story.”

International Holocaust Memorial Day that was marked on January 27 included a unique event in Pennsylvania that brought together IDF officers and members of the US military.

The event was the brainchild of Lt.-Col. Shai Schul, Israel’s Security Assistance Liaison Officer to the US Army, and was why he was in Pennsylvania at the time of this year’s commemoration.
