Three years since the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust,” Governor Kathy Hochul said . “The pain of that dark day has not faded. But neither has the strength, resilience and enduring hope of the Jewish people. Today, we remember the innocent lives stolen, stand with the survivors and the families forever changed, and pray for a lasting peace.” Landmarks to be illuminated include: One World Trade Center Governor Mario M.
