Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards agreed to kick in $4 million dollars in capitql funds combined, while the borough state lawmakers said they will request another $2 million.

The city will build a Holocaust memorial garden at Queens Borough Hall to honor the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis before and during World War II.

"It is never enough to say never again --- we have to live it with our actions too," Adams said in a statement." By preserving the stories of both victims and survivors, by creating a permanent space for remembrance and reflection, by promoting understanding and solidarity across generations, this memorial will live out the meaning of "never again."

May their memories be a blessing and may they rest in heavenly peace. Amen.

Shalom!
