š¢ START HERE: Introducing SmartUpgrade
Installing aws polly tts (better picotts alternative), you can now use aws polly with freepbx text to speech.
Access your instance via SSH and execute the following command to run the installation script:
*** Please note that SmartUpgrade is a utility unique to AWS FreePBX from TheWebMachine Networks. If you got here by searching the internet and are not using AWS FreePBX from TheWebMachine Networks, you can still use our install-pollytts script and AWS Polly for TTS by running the following command from the root console of your FreePBX server. You do still need to have a valid AWS Account in order to use AWS Polly:
Towards the end of the installation, you will be asked for the following information:
AWS Access Key ID
AWS Secret Access Key You can generate these keys from the AWS IAM Management Console:Ā https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home
AWS Region Code Use the region closest to your server for optimal performance; will default to āus-east-1ā if not specified. Hereās a list of proper region codes:Ā https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html#concepts-available-regions
AWS Polly Voice ID Will default to āJoannaā (en-US) if not specified. Use a Voice ID from this page:Ā https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/voicelist.html
Once the script is finished, youāll want to add the ā polly ā engine via Settings > Text to Speech Engines and specify ā /usr/bin/node ā as the Engine Path :
Please be advised of the following limitations when using the AWS Polly engine to create TTS elements:
You CANNOT use single quotes/apostrophe (ā) including contractions (useĀ dontĀ instead ofĀ donāt), double quotes ("), or carriage returns/newlines in your spoken text. Any of these (and possibly other special chars) will break the playback and you will get either only a partial audio file or no audio at all. Polly will automatically pronounce contractions without an apostrophe (likeĀ dont) correctly
You CANNOT use SSML at this time because the FreePBX TTS module does not support it. We are working with Sangoma to rebuild the entire TTS module to "modernize" it and bring additional capabilities like this...but we are a long way from that goal
AWS Polly has a 3000-character limit per API request. If you send more than this in a single TTS element, you will get no audio. If you need to provide spoken word longer than 3000-chars, simply break it down into multiple TTS elements and string them together in sequence within your dialplan (Part1 Destination -> Part2; Part2 Destination -> Part3, etc)
NOTE : You CAN use Asterisk Channel Variables in your TTS elements, which can greatly expand the variability of the elements you create. You can use variables like ${CALLERID(name)} to say the Caller's name or you can ensure you just speak the Caller's first name using the CUT function like this: ${CUT(CALLERID(name), ,1)} (there is a space between the two comas, which is the delimiter)
Thatās it! Now you may create new TTS elements in Applications > Text to Speech and select ā polly ā as the engine to use. FINAL NOTES ABOUT AWS POLLY :
AWS gives customers 5 million characters per month for free for the first 12 months, starting from your first request. You pay for usage beyond that ($4 per million chars). The way the TTS module is currently written, your TTS audio files are preserved in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/tts/ after the first time they are encoded. So long as that TTS element text field remains unchanged AND you are NOT using Asterisk Channel Variables in the elements (which are dynamically generated during each call), no additional requests will be made to Polly for that TTS element. AWS Polly Pricing:Ā https://aws.amazon.com/polly/pricing/
If you ever want to change which AWS Polly voice you are using, simply run install-pollytts again and select a new voice. You'll be asked if you want to delete all existing TTS audio to regenerate elements in the new voice

Text to speech for asterisk using Google Translate
This script makes use of Google's translate text to speech service in order to render text to speech and play it back to the user. It supports a variety of different languages (See README for a complete list), local caching of the voice data and also supports 8kHz or 16kHz sample rates to provide the best possible sound quality along with the use of wideband codecs.
This TTS service is 'unofficial' and not supported by Google, it can be terminated at any point with no warning. People looking for TTS solutions to base their projects/products on should look for alternative, officially supported services.

If 'intkey' is set the script will wait for user input. Any given interrupt keys will cause the playback to immediately terminate and the dialplan to proceed to the matching extension (for use in IVR). The script contacts google's TTS service in order to get the voice data which then stores in a local cache (by default /tmp/) for future use.

News | USCās Daily Trojan publishes text of valedictorian Asna Tabassumās canceled speech ā redacted
Turmoil over the commencement activities began last month following the selection of tabassum as valedictorian. her pro-palestine views led to complaints from some critics who contended that some of her postings on social media were antisemitic ā claims she has denied..
Asna Tabassum, in a nod to how her planned address was silenced by the university, shared her speech with the Daily Trojan on Friday, where it was published in the school newspaper — redacted.
“President Folt, Provost Guzman, faculty, staff, families and fellow Class of 2024:
It is my honor to stand before you today as your Valedictorian. I am filled with gratitude to have the privilege of ….”
The rest of the text is blacked out.
According to the Trojan, the Class of 2024 valedictorian shared the speech “she hoped to deliver during the now-canceled May 10 main stage commencement ceremony with Annenberg Media and the Daily Trojan. …..”
On Friday, Tabassum was expected to attend the university’s smaller graduation ceremony for engineering students, of which she is one.
According to Annenberg Media’s Instagram message: Tabassum would have given her now-canceled valedictory speech Friday at 8 a.m. at what would have been the university’s traditional mainstage graduation, which traditionally draws more than 60,000 attendees.
The annual USC graduation tradition grew complicated amid bitter division over the cancelled speech, a wave of campus pro-Palestine protests, a school closed to outsiders for days and an attempted encampment that led to 93 arrests.
According to Annenberg Media and the Daily Trojan: “This speech is published as was written and shared by Tabassum. Annenberg Media and the Daily Trojan did not write, edit or change the speech or its presentation.”
A week after Tabassum was chosen as USC’s 2024 valedictorian, Provost Andrew Guzman said she would not speak at commencement, citing safety concerns and “intensity of feelings” fueled by “social media and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.”
Turmoil over the commencement activities began last month following the selection of Tabassum as valedictorian. Her pro-Palestine views led to complaints from some critics who contended that some of her postings on social media were antisemitic — claims she has denied.
The university responded by announcing that Tabassum would not be permitted to make a speech at the main stage commencement ceremony — a move the university’s provost insisted was done solely over safety concerns.
That decision, however, prompted an uproar of its own, with groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations calling it an act of cowardice aimed at silencing a pro-Palestinian viewpoint.
The demonstrations spread to other Southern California campuses from nearby UCLA and Cal State L.A. to Long Beach State on the coast, CSU Fullerton and UC Irvine in Orange County and UC Riverside in the Inland Empire.
In lieu of the traditional on-campus commencement, USC pulled together a university-wide “Trojan Family Graduation Celebration,” next door at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Thursday evening. More than 18,000 people attended, according to the university.

TTS Engine Path
Hello World,
I recently downloaded (SNG7-PBX16-64bit-2204-1.iso) and installed FreePBX 16.0.21.3 with all the defaults. I updated all the modules afterward.
However, I notice none of the āText to Speech Engineā has an āEngine Pathā. I have been trying to Google for this issue, but nothing really helps, other than only be able to locate flite is using /usr/bin/flite.
I see a bit of using Amazon/Google/Watson but it is a bit complicated for now. I was hoping to test out other TTS that suppose to come with the install.
you can compare yourself. . .
flite doesnāt cut it in 2022 . amazon, google cloud, and ibm (also micosoft azure) all need a āfreeā account set up which is indeed a little ācomplicatedā and down line ānot so freeā
https://gtts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html
/usr/local/bin/gtts-cli
Yea, flite doesnāt really cut itā¦
I was hoping for a better out-of-the-box experience with FreePBXā¦ I do know a bit of Linux, but again, none of the commands I know works. No apt, apt-get, pip, ipkg,opkgā¦
And that still begs the questionā¦ What are the default engine paths for all those TTS engines (e.g. text2wave, swift, pico, polly) listed in the default installation?
The āDistroā is RedHat based, You apparently qre Debian based, there is a world of difference between essentially the same 'things
You need to learn a new dialect or follow an open source install into an OS of your choice, many recipes in the above linked wiki .
yep, the āyellowdog update managerā perfect fit in 2022
OK, still not much luck finding out how to install gTTS or figuring out the paths for the other TTS Engines.
https://gtts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
it needs python3, so install that and pip3 if you donāt alrwady have them, then use pip3 not pip from that link to make sure you are using python3
OKā¦ I guess my linux skill is a bit outdated with RH distroā¦
Tried yum install python3
=-=-=-=-=-=-
Found another post suggesting a yum install python34 which seems to work. However, when I do a python --version it is still showing Python 2.7.5 .
Sorry. I am just not impressed with FreePBX distro at the momentā¦
Maybe once you get a little more current with your skills you will become more impressed at all that the FreePBX distro can do.
Sure. But at least can someone show me the commands or what needs to be done?
As dicko said, yum is old and outdated, but thatās the only command that seems to work. There is no dnf come with the distro either. I am not sure what else to try.
Even if my RH(?) skill is more current, I am still not impressed with the out-of-the-box experience with this distro. Starting with the missing path for TTS Enginesā¦ which gets me into this rabbit hole.
This is really making people jumping through hoopsā¦
This is just greatā¦ sigh
There arenāt any TTS engines that come with FreePBX Distroā¦ you have to install them yourself. I guess thatās what is confusing you.
E.g. to install Cepstral (Swift) - Cepstral - Download IVR/Telephony system TTS software
Follow their instructions to install it on your PBX and then go to the TTS Engines module in FreePBX to tell it where the swift binary is.
Or if you write a script to send text to Amazon Polly or Azure TTS engine and get the result back, you can point to that script.
Or install an open source engine, which seems to be what you are doing, but itās probably the most difficult way and requires you to have a bit more linux skill.
ps: also just found a script written for Pollyā¦ check it out https://www.thewebmachine.net/wiki/freepbx-general/installing-aws-polly-tts-better-picotts-alternative
OK, the installation works, but pretty useless because it requires purchasing a license to work. Unless I am missing something.
found a script written for Pollyā¦ check it out https://www.thewebmachine.net/wiki/freepbx-general/installing-aws-polly-tts-better-picotts-alternative
OK, this is a bit more adventurous. Learned AWS along the way too. Installation seems to do its job. Added /usr/bin/node under polly in TTS Engines. But it is not working.
Oh boy, this is no smooth sailingā¦ I have checked polly.js with the correct KeyId, AccessKey, region āca-central-1ā and VoiceId āJoannaā Gosh, what am I getting into.
Gosh. Finally, get polly to workā¦ from bits and pieces of AWS document, the policy is called āAmazonPollyFullAccessā, once added to the user permission, it finally works.

House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war
Pro-Palestinian protesters camp out in tents at Columbia University on Saturday, April 27, 2024 in New York. With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. (AP Photo)

WASHINGTON (AP) ā The House passed legislation Wednesday that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws, the latest response from lawmakers to a nationwide student protest movement over the Israel-Hamas war.
The proposal, which passed 320-91 with some bipartisan support, would codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Allianceās definition of antisemitism in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal anti-discrimination law that bars discrimination based on shared ancestry, ethnic characteristics or national origin. It now goes to the Senate where its fate is uncertain.
Action on the bill was just the latest reverberation in Congress from the protest movement that has swept university campuses. Republicans in Congress have denounced the protests and demanded action to stop them, thrusting university officials into the center of the charged political debate over Israelās conduct of the war in Gaza. More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war was launched in October, after Hamas staged a deadly terrorist attack against Israeli civilians.
If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the ātargeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.ā Critics say the move would have a chilling effect on free speech throughout college campuses.
āSpeech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute unlawful discrimination,ā Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said during a hearing Tuesday. āBy encompassing purely political speech about Israel into Title VIās ambit, the bill sweeps too broadly.ā
Advocates of the proposal say it would provide a much-needed, consistent framework for the Department of Education to police and investigate the rising cases of discrimination and harassment targeted toward Jewish students.
āIt is long past time that Congress act to protect Jewish Americans from the scourge of antisemitism on campuses around the country,ā Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., said Tuesday.
The expanded definition of antisemitism was first adopted in 2016 by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental group that includes the United States and European Union states, and has been embraced by the State Department under the past three presidential administrations, including Joe Bidenās
Previous bipartisan efforts to codify it into law have failed. But the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas militants in Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza have reignited efforts to target incidents of antisemitism on college campuses.
Separately, Speaker Mike Johnson announced Tuesday that several House committees will be tasked with a wide probe that ultimately threatens to withhold federal research grants and other government support for universities, placing another pressure point on campus administrators who are struggling to manage pro-Palestinian encampments, allegations of discrimination against Jewish students and questions of how they are integrating free speech and campus safety.
The House investigation follows several high-profile hearings that helped precipitate the resignations of presidents at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. And House Republicans promised more scrutiny, saying they were calling on the administrators of Yale, UCLA and the University of Michigan to testify next month.
The House Oversight Committee took it one step further Wednesday, sending a small delegation of Republican members to an encampment at nearby George Washington University in the District of Columbia. GOP lawmakers spent the short visit criticizing the protests and Mayor Muriel Bowserās refusal to send in the Metropolitan Police Department to disperse the demonstrators.
Bowser on Monday confirmed that the city and the districtās police department had declined the universityās request to intervene. āWe did not have any violence to interrupt on the GW campus,ā Bowser said, adding that police chief Pamela Smith made the ultimate decision. āThis is Washington, D.C., and we are, by design, a place where people come to address the government and their grievances with the government.ā
It all comes at a time when college campuses and the federal government are struggling to define exactly where political speech crosses into antisemitism. Dozens of U.S. universities and schools face civil rights investigations by the Education Department over allegations of antisemitism and Islamophobia.
Among the questions campus leaders have struggled to answer is whether phrases like āfrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be freeā should be considered under the definition of antisemitism.
The proposed definition faced strong opposition from several Democratic lawmakers, Jewish organizations as well as free speech advocates.
In a letter sent to lawmakers Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union urged members to vote against the legislation, saying federal law already prohibits antisemitic discrimination and harassment.
āH.R. 6090 is therefore not needed to protect against antisemitic discrimination; instead, it would likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism,ā the letter stated.
Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the centrist pro-Israel group J Street, said his organization opposes the bipartisan proposal because he sees it as an āunseriousā effort led by Republicans āto continually force votes that divide the Democratic caucus on an issue that shouldnāt be turned into a political football.ā

Transcript: Read Bidenās Remarks at a Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony
Here is the presidentās complete speech, which lasted about 16 minutes.
- Share full article
By The New York Times
- May 7, 2024
President Biden delivered these remarks on Tuesday at the Capitol for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museumās Days of Remembrance.
Thank you, Stu, for that introduction, for your leadership of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Youāre a true scholar and statesman and a dear friend. Speaker Johnson, Leader Jeffries, members of Congress and especially the survivors of the Holocaust. If my mother were here, sheād look at you and say, āGod love you all. God love you all.ā
Abe Foxman and all of the survivors who embody absolute courage and dignity and grace are here as well. During these sacred days of remembrance, we grieve. We give voice to the six million Jews who were systematically targeted and murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II. We honor the memory of victims, the pain of survivors, the bravery of heroes who stood up to Hitlerās unspeakable evil. And we recommit to heading and heeding the lessons of one of the darkest chapters in human history, to revitalize and realize the responsibility of never again.
Never again, simply translated for me, means never forget. Never forget. Never forgetting means we must keep telling the story, must keep teaching the truth, must keep teaching our children and our grandchildren. The truth is, we are at risk of people not knowing the truth. Thatās why growing up, my dad taught me and my siblings about the horrors of the Shoah at our family dinner table. Thatās why I visited Yad Vashem with my family as a senator, as vice president, as president. And thatās why I took my grandchildren to Dachau, so they could see and bear witness to the perils of indifference, the complicity of silence, in the face of evil they knew was happening.
Germany 1933, Hitler and his Nazi Partyās rise to power by rekindling one of the oldest forms of prejudice and hate: antisemitism. His role didnāt begin with mass murder; it started slowly across economic, political, social and cultural life. Propaganda demonizing Jews. Boycotts of Jewish businesses. Synagogues defaced with swastikas. Harassment of Jews in the street and the schools, antisemitic demonstrations, pogroms, organized riots. With the indifference of the world, Hitler knew he could expand his reign of terror by eliminating Jews from Germany, to annihilate Jews across Europe through genocide, the Nazis called the final solution. Concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings. By the time the war ended, six million Jews ā one of every three Jews in the entire world ā were murdered.
This ancient hatred of Jews didnāt begin with the Holocaust. It didnāt end with the Holocaust either. Or after ā even after our victory in World War II. This hatred continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world and requires our continued vigilance and outspokenness. That hatred was brought to life on October 7th of 2023. On the sacred Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people off the face of the Earth, over 1,200 innocent people, babies, parents, grandparents, slaughtered in a kibbutz, massacred at a music festival, brutally raped, mutilated and sexually assaulted.
Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets and shrapnel from a memory of that terrible day they endured. Hundreds taken hostage, including survivors of the Shoah. Now here we are, not 75 years later, but just seven and half months later and people are already forgetting. They are already forgetting. That Hamas unleashed this terror. It was Hamas that brutalized Israelis. It was Hamas who took and continues to hold hostages. I have not forgotten nor have you. And we will not forget.
As Jews around the world still cope with the atrocity and the trauma of that day and its aftermath, we have seen a ferocious surge of antisemitism in America and around the world. Vicious propaganda on social media. Jews forced to keep their ā hide their kippahs under baseball hats, tuck their Jewish stars into their shirts. On college campuses, Jewish students blocked, harassed, attacked while walking to class. Antisemitism, antisemitic posters, slogans, calling for the annihilation of Israel, the worldās only Jewish state.
Too many people denying, downplaying, rationalizing, ignoring the horrors of the Holocaust and October 7th, including Hamasās appalling use of sexual violence to torture and terrorize Jews. Itās absolutely despicable, and it must stop. Silence and denial can hide much, but it can erase nothing. Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous, they cannot be married ā buried ā no matter how hard people try.
In my view, a major lesson of the Holocaust is, as mentioned earlier, it is not ā was not ā inevitable. We know hate never goes away; it only hides. Given a little oxygen, it comes out from under the rocks. We also know what stops hate. One thing: All of us. The late Rabbi Jonathan Sachs described antisemitism as a virus that has survived and mutated over time. Together, we cannot continue to let that happen. We have to remember our basic principle as a nation.
We have an obligation, an obligation to learn the lessons of history so we donāt surrender our future to the horrors of the past. We must give hate no safe harbor against anyone. Anyone. From the very founding, our very founding, Jewish Americans represented only about 2 percent of the U.S. population and helped lead the cause of freedom for everyone in our nation. From that experience, we know scapegoating and demonizing any minority is a threat to every minority and the very foundation of our democracy.
Itās in moments like this we have to put these principles that weāre talking about into action. I understand people have strong beliefs and deep convictions about the world. In America, we respect and protect the fundamental right to free speech. To debate, disagree, to protest peacefully, make our voices heard. I understand, thatās America. But there is no place on any campus in America ā any place in America ā for antisemitism or hate speech or threats of violence of any kind. Whether against Jews or anyone else. Violent attacks, destroying property is not peaceful protest. Itās against the law. And we are not a lawless country. Weāre a civil society. We uphold the rule of law, and no one should have to hide or be brave just to be themselves.
The Jewish community, I want you to know: I see your fear, your hurt, your pain. Let me reassure you, as your president, youāre not alone. You belong. You always have and you always will. And my commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, security of Israel, and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad even when we disagree.
My administration is working around the clock to free remaining hostages. Just so we have freed hostages already. And we will not rest until we bring them all home. My administration, with our second gentlemanās leadership, has launched our nationās first national strategy to counter antisemitism thatās mobilizing the full force of the federal government to protect Jewish community, but we know itās not the work of government alone or Jews alone.
Thatās why Iām calling on all Americans to stand united against antisemitism and hate in all its forms. My dear friend, he became a friend, the late Elie Wiesel said, quote: āOne person of integrity can make a difference.ā We have to remember that now more than ever. Here in the Emancipation Hall of the U.S. Capitol, among the towering statues of history, is a bronze bust of Raoul Wallenberg. Born in Sweden, as a Lutheran, he was a businessman and a diplomat. While stationed in Hungary during World War II, he used diplomatic cover to hide and rescue about 100,000 Jews over a six-month period.
Among them was a 16-year-old Jewish boy who escaped a Nazi labor camp. After the war ended, that boy received a scholarship from the Hillel Foundation to study in America. He came to New York City penniless but determined to turn his pain into purpose, along with his wife, also a Holocaust survivor. He became a renowned economist and foreign policy thinker, eventually making his way to this very Capitol on the staff of a first-term senator.
That Jewish refugee was Tom Lantos, and that senator was me. Tom and his wife, Annette, and their family became dear friends to me and my family. Tom would go on to become the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to Congress, where he became a leading voice on civil rights and human rights around the world. Tom never met Raoul, who was taken prisoner by the Soviets, never to be heard from again. But through Tomās efforts, Raoulās bust is here in the Capitol. He was also given honorary U.S. citizenship, only the second person ever after Winston Churchill.
The Holocaust Museum here in Washington is located on a roll ā road ā in Raoulās name. The story of the power of a single person to put aside our differences, to see our common humanity, to stand up to hate and its ancient story of resilience from immense pain, persecution, to find hope, purpose and meaning in life we try to live and share with one another. That story endures.
Let me close with this. I know these days of remembrance fall on difficult times. We all do well to remember these days also fall during the month we celebrate Jewish American heritage. A heritage that stretches from our earliest days to enrich every single part of American life today. Great American ā great Jewish American ā Tom Lantos used the phrase the veneer of civilization is paper-thin. We are its guardians, and we can never rest.
My fellow Americans, we must, we must be those guardians. We must never rest. We must rise against hate, meet across the divide, see our common humanity. And God bless the victims and survivors of the Shoah. May the resilient hearts, courageous spirit and eternal flame of faith of the Jewish people shine their light on America and all around the world. Praise God. Thank you all.

President Biden gives remarks about student protests over the war in Gaza from the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Thursday.
President Biden defended the protests roiling college campuses across the country, but also emphasized the importance of the rule of law and denounced hate speech of any kind.
The president gave the brief, hastily arranged remarks from the White House Thursday morning following days of colleges and universities struggling to contain pro-Palestinian protests.
House passes bill aimed to combat antisemitism amid college unrest
How some faculty members are defending student protesters, in actions and in words
"We've all seen images and they put to the test two fundamental American principles," Biden said. "The first is the right to free speech and for people to peacefully assemble and make their voices heard. The second is rule of law. Both must be upheld."
He said people have a right to get an education and freely walk across campus without fear. "There's the right to protest but no the right to cause chaos," he said.
Biden added that there is no place for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind in America.
Watch his remarks below.
Bidenās speech at the Holocaust remembrance ceremony, annotated
By Zachary B. Wolf and Annette Choi , CNN
Published May 7, 2024
President Joe Biden talked about the documented increase of antisemitism in the United States during the annual US Holocaust Memorial Museumās Days of Remembrance ceremony at the US Capitol building. Every recent president has made remarks at least once at the event, but Bidenās remarks came as pro-Palestinian protests have disrupted classes and commencements at multiple US universities . At times, rhetoric at those protests has veered into antisemitism, offended Jewish students and sparked a fierce debate about free speech.
Biden talked in-depth about the Hamas terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, and the Israeli hostages that remain in captivity . He did not mention Israelās heavy-handed response, which has not only destroyed much of Gaza and cost tens of thousands of lives but has also driven a wedge between Biden and many progressives, particularly on college campuses. See below for what he said , along with context from CNN.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, Stu Eizenstat, for that introduction, for your leadership of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum . You are a true scholar and statesman and a dear friend.
Speaker Johnson , Leader Jeffries, members of Congress and especially the survivors of the Holocaust. If my mother were here, sheād look at you and say, āGod love you all. God love you all.ā
Abe Foxman and all other survivors who embody absolute courage and dignity and grace are here as well.
During these sacred days of remembrance we grieve, we give voice to the 6 million Jews who were systematically targeted and murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II. We honor the memory of victims, the pain of survivors, the bravery of heroes who stood up to Hitler's unspeakable evil. And we recommit to heading and heeding the lessons that one of the darkest chapters in human history to revitalize and realize the responsibility of never again.
The Days of Remembrance commemoration has been an annual event since 1982. Every US president since Bill Clinton has spoken at least once at a remembrance event.
House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke shortly before Biden and tried to compare the situation on college campuses today with that on college campuses in Germany in the 1930s.
Never again, simply translated for me, means never forget, never forget. Never forgetting means we must must keep telling the story, we must keep teaching the truth, we must keep teaching our children and our grandchildren. And the truth is we are at risk of people not knowing the truth.
That's why, growing up, my dad taught me and my siblings about the horrors of the Shoah at our family dinner table.
Shoah is the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.
That's why I visited Yad Vashem with my family as a senator, as vice president and as president. And that's why I took my grandchildren to Dachau , so they could see and bear witness to the perils of indifference, the complicity of silence in the face of evil that they knew was happening.
Biden visited Yad Vashem , Israelās Holocaust remembrance site, in 2022 as president.
As vice president, he toured the Nazi concentration camp outside Munich in 2015 with his granddaughter during a trip for an annual security conference.
Germany, 1933, Hitler and his Nazi party rise to power by rekindling one of the world's oldest forms of prejudice and hate ā antisemitism.
His rule didn't begin with mass murder. It started slowly across economic, political, social and cultural life ā propaganda demonizing Jews, boycotts of Jewish businesses, synagogues defaced with swastikas, harassment of Jews in the street and in the schools, antisemitic demonstrations, pogroms, organized riots.
With the indifference of the world, Hitler knew he could expand his reign of terror by eliminating Jews from Germany, to annihilate Jews across Europe through genocide the Nazis called the final solution. Concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings. By the time the war ended, 6 million Jews, one out of every three Jews in the entire world, were murdered.
This ancient hatred of Jews didn't begin with the Holocaust. It didn't end with the Holocaust either, or after, even after our victory in World War II. This hatred continues to lie deep in the hearts of too many people in the world and requires our continued vigilance and outspokenness.
The Holocaust survivor Irene Butter wrote for CNN Opinion in 2021 about Adolf Hitlerās rise and echoes of Nazism in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
That hatred was brought to life on October 7th in 2023. On the sacred Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Read mo re about Hamas .
Driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people off the face of the Earth, over 1,200 innocent people ā babies, parents, grandparents ā slaughtered in their kibbutz, massacred at a music festival, brutally raped, mutilated and sexually assaulted .
Evidence of sexual violence has been documented. Hereās the account of one Israeli woman who has spoken publicly about her experience.
Thousands more carrying wounds, bullets and shrapnel from the memory of that terrible day they endured. Hundreds taken hostage, including survivors of the Shoah.
Now here we are, not 75 years later but just seven-and-a-half months later and people are already forgetting, are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror. That it was Hamas that brutalized Israelis. It was Hamas who took and continues to hold hostages. I have not forgotten, nor have you, and we will not forget.
On May 7, 1945, the German High Command agreed to an unconditional surrender in World War II, 79 years ago.
And as Jews around the world still cope with the atrocities and trauma of that day and its aftermath, we've seen a ferocious surge of anti s emitism in America and around the world.
In late October, FBI Director Christopher Wray said reports of antisemitism in the US were reaching ā historic ā levels.
Vicious propaganda on social media, Jews forced to keep their ā hide their kippahs under baseball hats, tuck their Jewish stars into their shirts.
On college campuses, Jewish students blocked, harassed, attacked while walking to class . Antisemitism, antisemitic posters , slogans calling for the annihilation of Israel, the world's only Jewish state.
Many Jewish students have described feeling intimidated and attacked on campuses. Others have said they support the protests , citing the situation in Gaza.
Last month, the dean of the University of California Berkeley Law School described antisemitic posters that targeted him.
Too many people denying, downplaying, rationalizing, ignoring the horrors of the Holocaust and October 7th, including Hamas' appalling use of sexual violence to torture and terrorize Jews. It's absolutely despicable and it must stop.
Silence. Silence and denial can hide much but it can erase nothing.
Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous they cannot be married ā buried, no matter how hard people try.
In my view, a major lesson of the Holocaust is, as mentioned earlier, is it not, was not inevitable.
We know hate never goes away. It only hides. And given a little oxygen, it comes out from under the rocks.
We also know what stops hate. One thing: All of us. The late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks described antisemitism as a virus that has survived and mutated over time.
Together, we cannot continue to let that happen. We have to remember our basic principle as a nation. We have an obligation. We have an obligation to learn the lessons of history so we don't surrender our future to the horrors of the past. We must give hate no safe harbor against anyone. Anyone.
From the very founding, our very founding, Jewish Americans , who represented only about 2% of the US population , have helped lead the cause of freedom for everyone in our nation. From that experience we know scapegoating and demonizing any minority is a threat to every minority and the very foundation of our democracy.
As of 2020, Jewish Americans made up about 2.4% of the US population, according to the Pew Research Center , or about 5.8 million people.
So moments like this we have to put these principles that we're talking about into action.
I understand people have strong beliefs and deep convictions about the world .
In America we respect and protect the fundamental right to free speech, to debate and disagree, to protest peacefully and make our voices heard . I understand. That's America.
The complaint of many protesters is that Israelās response to the terror attack has claimed more than 30,000 lives and destroyed much of Gaza .
But there is no place on any campus in America, any place in America, for antisemitism or hate speech or threats of violence of any kind.
Whether against Jews or anyone else, violent attacks, destroying property is not peaceful protest. It's against the law and we are not a lawless country. We're a civil society. We uphold the rule of law and no one should have to hide or be brave just to be themselves.
To the Jewish community, I want you to know I see your fear, your hurt and your pain.
Let me reassure you as your president, you're not alone. You belong. You always have and you always will.
And my commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad, even when we disagree.
My administration is working around the clock to free remaining hostages, just as we have freed hostages already, and will not rest until we bring them all home.
My administration, with our second gentleman's leadership, has launched our nation's first national strategy to counter antisemitism. That's mobilizing the full force of the federal government to protect Jewish communities.
But we know this is not the work of government alone or Jews alone. That's why Iām calling on all Americans to stand united against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.
My dear friend ā and he became a friend ā the late Elie Wiesel said, quote, āOne person of integrity can make a difference.ā
Elie Wiesel , the Holocaust survivor, writer and activist, died in 2016.
We have to remember that, now more than ever.
Here in Emancipation Hall in the US Capitol, among the towering statues of history is a bronze bust of Raoul Wallenberg . Born in Sweden as a Lutheran, he was a businessman and a diplomat. While stationed in Hungary during World War II, he used diplomatic cover to hide and rescue about 100,000 Jews over a six-month period.
Read more about Wallenberg , the Holocaust hero and Swedish diplomat who was formally declared dead in 2016, 71 years after he vanished.
Among them was a 16-year-old Jewish boy who escaped a Nazi labor camp. After the war ended, that boy received a scholarship from the Hillel Foundation to study in America. He came to New York City penniless but determined to turn his pain into purpose. Along with his wife, also a Holocaust survivor, he became a renowned economist and foreign policy thinker, eventually making his way to this very Capitol on the staff of a first-term senator.
That Jewish refugee was Tom Lantos and that senator was me. Tom and his wife and Annette and their family became dear friends to me and my family. Tom would go on to become the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to Congress, where he became a leading voice on civil rights and human rights around the world. Tom never met Raoul, who was taken prisoner by the Soviets, never to be heard from again.
Read more about Lantos , the longtime congressman and Holocaust survivor who died in 2008. Lantos worked for Biden early in his career.
But through Tom's efforts, Raoulās bust is here in the Capitol. He was also given honorary US citizenship, only the second person ever after Winston Churchill. The Holocaust Museum here in Washington is located in a road in Raoulās name.
The story of the power of a single person to put aside our differences, to see our common humanity, to stand up to hate and its ancient story of resilience from immense pain, persecution, to find hope, purpose and meaning in life, we try to live and share with one another. That story endures.
Let me close with this. I know these days of remembrance fall on difficult times. We all do well to remember these days also fall during the month we celebrate Jewish American heritage, a heritage that stretches from our earliest days to enrich every single part of American life today.
There are important topics Biden did not address. He referenced the October 7 attacks on Israel but not Israelās controversial response, which has drawn furious protests. He failed to mention Gaza, where Israelās military campaign has killed so many, and which has led the World Food Programme to warn of a āfull-blown famine .ā
A great American ā a great Jewish American named Tom Lantos ā used the phrase āthe veneer of civilization is paper thin.ā We are its guardians, and we can never rest.
My fellow Americans, we must, we must be those guardians. We must never rest. We must rise Against hate, meet across the divide, see our common humanity. And God bless the victims and survivors of the Shoah.
May the resilient hearts, the courageous spirit and the eternal flame of faith of the Jewish people forever shine their light on America and around the world, pray God.
Thank you all.
