Watch Live: Biden to speak out against antisemitism at Holocaust remembrance ceremony
CBSN
Washington — President Biden is set to deliver the keynote address at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Annual Day of Remembrance Celebration on Tuesday, where he's expected to condemn a rise in antisemitism in the wake of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Mr. Biden will "make clear that during these sacred days of remembrance, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said told reporters on Monday, adding that he's expected to "recommit to heeding the lessons of this dark chapter — never again."
"He will speak to the horrors of Oct. 7 when Hamas unleashed the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust," Jean-Pierre said. "And he will speak to how since Oct. 7, we've seen an alarming rise in antisemitism in the U.S. in our cities or communities and on our campuses."
