President Donald Trump says Yad Vashem, Israel's national Holocaust memorial, is a testament to the "unbreakable spirit" of the Jewish people.

Speaking after a brief ceremony at the site in Jerusalam, Trump says words can never describe the "bottomless depths" of the evil that led to the killing of 6 million Jews by the Nazis during World War II. Trump calls the period "history's darkest hour" and says the only way to "prevent this agony from repeating" is to never "be silent in the face of evil."

Trump says the Holocaust was the most savage crime against God and his children.

He says everyone has a solemn duty to remember, mourn, grieve and honor every life that was extinguished during the Holocaust.
