President Reuven Rivlin told the "Every Person Has a Name" observance in the Knesset on Thursday, "Every year we come here on Holocaust Remembrance Day and read the names of Holocaust victims. ‘Every Person has a Name’. But there are so many names that we will never know, despite the never ending efforts to find them."

Having read the names of Holocaust victims from the family of his hospitalized wife, Rivlin continued, "My wife Nechama's cousins, children, infants, babies who left no name behind. No-one knows their names. They were here, and now have gone."
