Ohio Governor John Kasich took part in the 32nd annual Holocaust Commemoration at the Ohio Statehouse earlier today (Tuesday). He told those who gathered that he’s making good on a promise he made at last year’s event.

Kasich says the Statehouse will have a Holocaust memorial.

“One year ago, I said we need to have a memorial. One year later, we are going to have a memorial on the grounds of this Statehouse. It will be the first memorial recognizing man's inhumanity to man in the United States of America.”

There is a national Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. and a Holocaust memorial garden in Miami Beach, Florida. Kasich's spokesman Rob Nichols added later that this memorial is actually the first of its kind at a Statehouse. The memorial that will be built on the statehouse lawn will be made possible by private donations and state funds.
