In commemoration, U.S. President Donald Trump also took to Twitter with a Holocaust memorial message, posting a photo of him laying a wreath at Israel's Yad Vashem saying \"On Holocaust Remembrance Day we mourn and grieve the murder of 6 million innocent Jewish men, women and children, and the millions of others who perished in the evil Nazi Genocide. We pledge with all of our might and resolve: Never Again!\"

The ceremony comes days after Israel called on Warsaw to amend a bill regarding its role in the Holocaust. Polish lawmakers approved a measure that would make it illegal to use statements suggesting Poland bore any responsibility for crimes against humanity committed by Nazi Germany on its soil.
