Tonight, a Holocaust survivor speaking here in New Jersey
ahead of Israel's Holocaust remembrance day, which is tomorrow
. It's happening as anti Semitic incidents are on the
rise in New Jersey and really all across the country
. Ruth Millman is on the Speaker's Bureau for the
Center for Holocaust Studies at Brookdale Community College. We
also talked to a rabbi who says there's no place
for hate. The most important thing today is to
remember that we all are equal in the eyes of
men and God. And therefore we need to take
that and live together in peace. Governor Murphy.
Meantime signing a bill into a law today aimed at
improving the way the holocaust and genocide are taught in
our schools. The law requires students to be tested
on the subject as part of each school district meeting
the state's education requirements. Here's a clip from tonight's
ask Governor Murphy program on news 12. Never forget
. Number one to make sure that the reality of
the Holocaust and the pilgrims that preceded it long before
the Holocaust are taught and ingrained in our youth that
we are as America's most diverse state and most densely
populated state and I think that combination gives us a
leg up in the respect that we can more easily
walk in the other guy's shoes. And I think
that's a huge, huge deal. The bill is
also backed by the advocacy group, the Jewish Federation
in the heart of New Jersey.
