Even with the publication of innumerable books, academic studies, and Now in contrast – not 300 but more than 3000 years ago, the remarkable museums dedicated to the Holocaust, the memory Jews left the land of Egypt. and the meaning of the event is becoming less clear as the years I would kindly request from you Mr. Secretary that on one of go on. your trips around the world, try and meet 10 Jewish children in How shall we answer this question of why the Jewish people need different countries.
