April 25 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump is scheduled take part in a Days of Remembrance ceremony Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Trump will deliver remarks at the event scheduled to begin at 11:20 a.m. in conjunction with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
"The United States Congress established the Days of Remembrance as the nation's annual commemoration of the Holocaust," the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum said in a statement. "Each year state and local governments, military bases, workplaces, schools, religious organizations, and civic centers host observances and remembrance activities for their communities."
The deaths of up to 6 million Jews during World War II are being acknowledged in ceremonies around the world. On Monday, Israel came to a 2-minute halt as sirens across the country marked Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"That's not enough to curse the darkness of the past. Above all, we have to illuminate the future. And I think that on the Day of Remembrance the most important thing is to remember the humanity that is in all of us to leave the world better for our children and for posterity," Holocaust survivor Estelle Laughlin said in a video to commemorate the Days of Remembrance.
