Bush visits holocaust memorial

January 11, 2008

Bush toured Jerusalem's Yad Vashem memorial to the six million Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust, rekindling an eternal flame and laying a wreath on a stone slab under which the ashes of victims from six death camps are buried. Concluding his first presidential visit to the Holy Land, Bush headed for Kuwait, the first of five stops with Arab allies he hopes will aid the fragile peace process and help contain Iran's growing regional clout.
