SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 27, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — Gov. Spencer Cox shared his thoughts today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, about the Holocaust.
The term usually refers to the World War II execution of nearly 6 million European Jews by Nazis, according to a statement from the Anne Frank House. Frank died at age 16 in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, in Germany.
The publication of the diary she left behind did much to educate readers around the world about what she went through while in hiding, before her family and their associates were captured. From her group of eight in hiding, only her father survived the Holocaust.
Cox’s statement reads:
“Today, we pause to remember the millions who lost their lives during the Holocaust. As we reflect on this dark chapter in history, we renew our commitment to fostering a world of understanding.
“Let us honor the survivors, the victims, and all those who suffered. May their stories remind us to stand against hate, today and always.”
