Calls on community to honor Sarah Milgram’s legacy
After two Israeli Embassy staff were shot and killed at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, State Senator Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) released the following statement:
“I am heartbroken that two Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed senselessly last night. Antisemitism is what killed two innocent souls last night who were gunned down in cold blood. My heart breaks for their loved ones and all who care about them and the future of humanity.
“Yaron Lischinsky is described by his friends as both a brilliant and kind person. He was a devout Christian and a gifted linguist who loved America. Sarah Milgram was a young woman who dedicated her life to building peace.
“Until hate and continued delegitimization of a people and their state ends, antisemitism will continue to flourish.
“To honor Sarah Milgram’s memory, legacy and her commitment to peaceful coexistence, we must end the scourge of hate and antisemitism.”
