It is impossible to picture six million people at once; to read six million names; to know six million stories. This Holocaust Remembrance Day, #WeRemember and reaffirm our enduring commitment to remember the victims of the Holocaust and the other victims of Nazi persecution.

To celebrate Hanukkah this year, we were loaned a few special menorahs to commemorate this holiday dedicated to light, hope, resilience, and the enduring strength of the Jewish people.
The first menorah was created out of flattened nails and scrap metal by Erwin Thieberger, a Holocaust survivor and coppersmith who modeled his menorahs after those he made in concentration camps during WWII. This series of menorahs made out of nails, evoking the menorahs of the Camps, expresses the darkness of the Jewish past while also providing the light of hope.
The second menorah was designed by the Jewish architect Daniel Libeskind, in honor of the eleven victims who were massacred at the Tree of Life mass shooting in 2018.
The Jewish community is going through a difficult time right now as antisemitic hate and violence rises in the United States and abroad. We light these menorahs to honor and remember those who can’t join us, and in the hope for a future where we can all live free of hate.

When one hate rises, they all do.
No one should feel unsafe in America because of their religion, race, ethnicity, or identity. Robert Kraft joined NBC to continue to share this message on why we all must work together to stand up to all hate. #StandUpToJewishHate #🟦
