Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened a new Holocaust exhibition at the former Auschwitz death camp, vowing Israel would do everything in its power to prevent another genocide of the Jewish people.



“For Sixty-five years the only thing that has truly changed is our ability and our determination to defend ourselves and to prevent another Holocaust.”

Netanyahu has accused Tehran of planning another Holocaust by developing nuclear weapons with the aim of destroying Israel. “This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons to annihilate Israel's six million Jews,” he said following talks with Polish counterpart Donald Tusk in Warsaw. Israel “will not allow this to happen.” While saying that Israel should be eliminated, Tehran insists its nuclear facilities are for peaceful purposes.

History shows - the world knew about the Holocaust and did nothing. The Allied leaders knew about the Holocaust as it was happening. They understood perfectly what was taking place in the death camps. They were asked to act, they could have acted, and they did not.

Mr. Netanyahu stated: “For the Jews, the lesson is clear. We must not stand idle before the threats of annihilation. We must not bury our heads in the sand, or let others do our work. As the prime minister of Israel I am telling all the nations of the world: The State of Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent a second Holocaust.”
