Holocaust Heroes' and Martyrs' Remembrance Day 2008
[President of Israel Spokesperson's Office] President Shimon Peres - Six million Jews, a third of the entire Jewish people, were annihilated simply because they were Jewish. But we did rise again, and gathered in our people. We returned to our Homeland, we resurrected our language, and we opened our gates to Holocaust survivors. We fended off seven military attacks and two intifadas designed to defeat us. If the countries of the world had not delayed, and would have identified the Nazi threat in time, they could have prevented Hitler from murdering tens of millions of people.
