Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey speaks at Yom HaShoah commemoration

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) — Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey proclaimed April 21-27 as the Holocaust Days of Remembrance.

The Alabama Holocaust Commission hosted a Yom HaShoah commemoration Tuesday, and some state lawmakers were in attendance.

“As governor, I am proud to remind you that we Alabamians share a uniquely close bond with the Jewish people,” Ivey said. “Alabama was the first U.S. state to call for the establishment of the nation of Israel over 80 years ago. In 2019, we were the first state to recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and undivided capital city of Israel.”
