Obama Speaks At Holocaust Days Of Remembrance Ceremony
Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) puts her hand over her heart for the National Anthem during the Holocaust Days Of Remembrance ceremony in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington on April 23, 2009. Established in 1993, the Days of Remembrance are commemorated in April so that they coincide with the observance in Israel. According to current and former National Security Agency officials, Harman was recorded during intercepted telephone calls allegedly agreeing to seek easy treatment from the Bush administration for two pro-Israel lobbyists who were under investigation for espionage.
