President Donald Trump pledged both his administration and the entire country “will confront anti-Semitism” and never forget the “unthinkable horrors of the Holocaust” during a speech at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Tuesday.

The president used blunt language to describe the horror of the Holocaust, which killed over six million Jews during World War II.

“This is my pledge to you: we will confront anti-Semitism. We will stamp out prejudice. We will condemn hatred. We will bear witness and we will act.”

“That is why we are here today, to remember and to bear witness, to make sure that humanity never, ever forgets,” Trump said, adding that the world has a duty “to remember that long, dark night so as never to again repeat it.”

“This is my pledge to you: we will confront anti-Semitism. We will stamp out prejudice. We will condemn hatred. We will bear witness and we will act,” Trump continued. “As president of the United States, I will always stand with the Jewish people, and I will always stand with our great friend and partner, the State of Israel.”

The president asked the country to remember and honor the millions of Jewish men, women, and children “whose lives and dreams were stolen from this earth” and whom “the Nazis so brutally targeted and so brutally killed.”

Trump also brought attention to the survivors who “bore more than we can ever imagine.”

“We remember the hatred and evil that ought to extinguish human life, dignity, and freedom,” Trump said. “The Jewish people have endured oppression, persecution, and those who have sought and planned their destruction. Yet through the suffering, they have persevered. They have thrived. And they have enlightened the world. We stand in awe of the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people.”

Lest any doubts still linger regarding Trump’s regard for the Jewish people, the president reiterated that “Israel is an eternal monument to the undying strength of the Jewish people — the fervent dream that burned in the hearts of the oppressed is now filled with the breath of life, and the Star of David waves atop a great nation arisen from the desert.”

For those who still harbor anti-Semitism and wish to gloss over the brutal reality of the Holocaust, Trump offered some harsh words.

“Yet even today there are those who want to forget the past, or still, there are even those still with such hate — total hate — that they want to erase the Holocaust from history,” Trump said. “Those who deny the Holocaust are an accomplice to this horrible evil. And we’ll never be silent. We just won’t. We will never, ever be silent in the face of evil again.”
