President Joe Biden will announce on Tuesday, Holocaust Remembrance Day, new actions to counter the"abhorrent rise of antisemitism" in the United States. President Biden will make the announcement from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The announcement comes as several universities, including USC and Columbia, have canceled commencement activities due to unrest caused by pro-Palestinian protesters. The White House also said President Biden will address the atrocities of the Oct. 7 attack committed against Israel, marking the deadliest attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust, and how too many people are downplaying both events.
