Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, issued a statement early Thursday morning, ahead of the observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Writing on Twitter, she said, Today we honor the memory of victims and survivors of the Holocaust, and vow to keep fighting for oppressed people across the globe. In the wise words of Elie Wiesel, “We must always take sides…Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” #WeRemember
