Mumbai: On the solemn occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Consul General of Israel to Midwest India, Mumbai, Kobbi Shoshani, emphasized the enduring bond between the Jewish and Indian communities while reflecting on the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Speaking at a synagogue in Mumbai, Shoshani remarked, "It's the first time for a Governor to visit here at this beautiful synagogue. It symbolizes the bond between Jewish people and Indian people. Jews have lived in India for more than 2,000 years without any fear of persecution or discrimination."

The Consul General highlighted the significance of the day in Israel, commemorating the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. "It’s a very important day in Israel as it is a memorial of the Holocaust. Six million Jews, mainly in Europe, were murdered by the Nazis in gas chambers or by shooting," he said.
