The US Holocaust Memorial Museum gave its highest honor this week to U.S. Representative and civil rights leader John Lewis. Lewis is an ordained Baptist minister who has served in Congress for decades. He received the Elie Wiesel Award. Lewis was severely beaten attempting to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in 1965 on what’s known as “Bloody Sunday.”

The Holocaust Museum also observed Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, this week (May 5). Visitors read the names of people who were killed in the Holocaust.
