Among the powerful lessons we reflect on this Yom HaShoah is that the mass murder of 6 million Jews was not a sudden or singular act, but rather the culmination of countless incremental steps designed to vilify and dehumanize people. We must remember, now and always. -- Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken
