Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Knesset Speaker Miki Levy spoke at the Bundestag in Germany and broke down in tear during his speech and also while reciting Kaddish (the mourners prayer).

“Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that as much as we have done, it is our obligation to do more,” Levy said. “We are called upon to preserve the memory, to ensure its commemoration for the eternity of humankind. But alongside the memory, we are also called upon to shape a vision from it. We are called upon to preserve hope, and to plan a future together – a future based on shared values and dreams. We must connect and empower our young people – the generation of grandchildren and great-grandchildren; the third and fourth generations and the generations to come, and guide them to join together forces and minds, to advance a future filled with inspiration; a future based on the values of democracy, freedom and tolerance, which are shared by Israel and Germany.”
