TEL AVIV, Israel - Leonid Nevzlin today issued the following statement in response to the shooting at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

“Yesterday’s shooting at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is a terrible reminder that hatred and violence still exist and must be replaced by tolerance and peace. It is a tragedy that this act occurred at a place devoted to understanding and reconciliation. My hearts and prayers go out to all who were affected, particularly to the family of Stephen Johns, who gave his life protecting innocent people who were at the Museum to learn and remember. I will personally be reaching out to the family of Mr. Johns to offer assistance during this difficult time. On behalf of the Board of Governors, staff and friends of the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora in Tel Aviv, I express my sincere condolences to the American people.”
