NEW YORK, NY (Fox News) — President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day, reflecting on the genocide committed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

### Trump’s Reflection
On January 27, 1945, Allied forces liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi Regime’s largest concentration and death camp in World War II. Trump noted his administration’s efforts to combat antisemitism since he returned to the presidency last year.

### Rubio’s Statement
Rubio affirmed the value of all human beings and the need to counter antisemitism worldwide. He criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for comparing ICE enforcement to the tragic life of Anne Frank.

### Backlash Against Walz
Walz faced criticism for his remarks likening ICE actions to the Holocaust. The State Department’s special envoy to combat antisemitism strongly objected to the comparison, stating that it cheapens the horror of the Holocaust.
