On Wednesday evening, while addressing the Israeli Parliament, Knesset, PM Modi described the Holocaust as one of the darkest chapters.
“The Holocaust stands as one of humanity’s darkest chapters,” Modi said.
The PM, however, also pointed out that even in those turbulent years, some acts of humanity stood out and made their mark in history.
He referred to the Maharaja of Nawanagar in Gujarat, who had given shelter to Jewish children amid persecution.
“The Maharaja of Nawanagar in Gujarat, also known as the Jam Saheb, offered refuge to Polish children, including Jewish children, who had nowhere else to turn,” Modi said.
“Jewish communities have lived in India without fear of persecution or discrimination. They have preserved their faith and participated fully in society,” he added.
