UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM CONDEMNS ATTACK ON TREE OF LIFE SYNAGOGUE

WASHINGTON, DC – The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum strongly condemns the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and sends its deepest sympathies to the victims and families of those who were callously murdered. 

Before opening fire, the alleged perpetrator reportedly yelled, “All Jews must die!” The Museum reminds all Americans of the dangers of unchecked hatred and antisemitism which must be confronted wherever they appear and calls on all Americans to actively work to promote social solidarity and respect the dignity of all individuals. 

A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors. For more information, visit ushmm.org.
