Statement of Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin on the 75th
Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz
January 27, 2020

“Today, I was honored to represent President Trump as I led the United States Delegation
attending the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz on this International Holocaust
Remembrance Day. I was proud to deliver the President’s Proclamation marking this solemn
day to President Andrej Duda, and I want to thank him, the Republic of Poland, and the
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum for bringing together Holocaust survivors, families and
Jewish and global leaders to commemorate this historic day at this sacred place.
“We must never forget what happened 75 years ago, when the Nazi regime carried out the
systematic extermination of more than six million Jews. Nazis targeted innocent Jews solely
because of their religious beliefs.
“The United States and all other countries must work together to fight for all religious freedoms,
justice for the Jewish people, and combating anti-Semitism wherever it appears. We must be
committed to honoring the history of the Holocaust so these atrocities never occur ever again
to any people anywhere in the world.”
The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, led the delegation, which included:
1. Georgette Mosbacher, U.S. Ambassador to Poland
