President Joe Biden commemorated the sixth anniversary of the tragic attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue, where a gunman claimed the lives of 11 worshippers and injured several others. The attack, which occurred in 2018, targeted congregants from Dor Hadash, New Light, and Tree of Life congregations, located in Squirrel Hill, the heart of Pittsburgh's Jewish community. This devastating incident stands as the deadliest act of antisemitism in U.S. history.
In a statement, President Biden expressed his sorrow over the attack, acknowledging its profound impact on the Jewish community and the nation as a whole. Despite the tragedy, he highlighted the community's resilience in transforming pain into purpose by launching initiatives to combat hate and violence globally.
