After taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony, Biden signed Yad Vashem's visitor's book on Wednesday and stressed how honored he felt being back in Israel, and the importance of remembering the Holocaust.
"It is a great honor to be back - back to my emotional home. We must never, ever forget because hate is never defeated - it only hides. We must teach every emerging generation that it can happen again unless we remember. That is what I teach my children and grandchildren – never forget," he wrote.
