He vowed to use his "bully pulpit" to "point a finger of shame" at all ugly acts, from graffiti to violence. Speaking to several hundred Jewish leaders and others at ceremonies marking the "Days of Remembrance" of the Holocaust at the White House, Reagan also pledged that the U.S. will speak out at all international forums and negotiating tables to protest the persecution of people anywhere. The annual event, sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, was held in the East Room of the White House instead of the Rose Garden because of rain. Referring to those who claim the Holocaust is a hoax, Reagan recalled that during World War II he served in an army branch which processed military film from overseas and he saw the first scenes taken at the .first Nazi concentration camp to be liberated by American forces. Anyone who saw this film knew it was not a hoax, Reagan said.
