It’s been declared “a date which will live in infamy” but President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both made errors when referencing Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in a pair of tweets on Thursday.
The president’s tweet misquoted then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to a Joint Congressional Session following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
“National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — ‘A day that will live in infamy!’ December 7, 1941,” Trump tweeted.
In fact, Roosevelt famously called Dec. 7 “a date which will live in infamy.”
Meanwhile, the first lady got the month of the attack wrong in her tweet.

Kate Middleton and Prince William made a sweet appearance together on Monday night. The couple, who is currently expecting their third child, was joined by Prince Harry as they made their way to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's 70th wedding anniversary dinner at Windsor Castle. While the royal brothers looked dapper in their tuxes, it was Kate who really stole the spotlight. Aside from wearing a beautiful black lace dress, the duchess paid special tribute to the queen by borrowing her pearl choker, which was also worn by Princess Diana in 1982. While Kate stayed out of the spotlight during the beginning of her third pregnancy, due to her severe hyperemesis gravidarum, she has slowly resumed her royal duties in recent months. Aside from giving us a glimpse of her growing belly during a charity gala and honoring fallen soldiers on Remembrance Day, she also opened up about her...

There’s nothing like a diamond hand-me-down — especially when the one doing the handing down is Queen Elizabeth.
Kate Middleton debuted a sparkly “new” bracelet at the Anna Freud Centre gala dinner on Tuesday evening that is believed to have come straight from the 91-year-old monarch’s personal jewelry collection.
The Diamond Quatrefoil Bracelet once belonged to the Queen Mother and was likely handed down as part of a vast collection of jewelry given to the Queen after her mother’s death in 2002.
While not much is known about the ornate bracelet with multiple diamond quatrefoil motifs, there are pictures...

President Donald Trump, who has himself faced several charges of anti-Semitic intent, vowed to “confront anti-Semitism” and “stamp out prejudice” in his keynote address at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Days of Remembrance ceremony on Tuesday morning.
“This is my pledge to you: We will confront anti-Semitism,” Trump told Holocaust survivors and others in attendance at the memorial event on Capitol Hill. “We will stamp out prejudice, we will condemn hatred, we will bear witness and we will act.”
“Those who deny the Holocaust are an accomplice to this horrible evil, and we’ll never be silent. We just won’t,...

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is demanding that President Donald Trump immediately fire his White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, after Spicer compared Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Adolf Hitler, suggesting that even Hitler didn’t “sink to using chemical weapons.”
Spicer made the controversial comments during his Tuesday press briefing, where he condemned the Syrian government’s chemical weapons attack that killed more than 80 civilians last week. The remarks come amid the Jewish holiday of Passover.
“We didn’t even use chemical weapons in World War II,” Spicer said. “You had a — you know someone as despicable...

By strange and fortuitous coincidence, my meeting with Jack Garfein fell upon the nexus of several intersecting moments in history. It was Friday, January 27th — International Holocaust Remembrance Day. One week earlier, Donald J. Trump was sworn to office as forty-fifth President of the United States; and in the ensuing weekend, allegations of Trump’s unpunished sexual misconduct, callous attitudes toward women and courting of radical right-wing supporters helped bring about the Women’s March on Washington, one of the largest mass protests in the nation’s history. All around, people are anxiously reading the past with tenuous hopes and fears for the future. History, so often a thing defined after the fact, is currently in violent and furious motion.
Jack Garfein is living history, and he’s not shy about telling it. Born to Ukrainian Jews in 1930, Mr. Garfein personally witnessed as a child the rise of Nazi Germany...

Bill Betts, now 91, was a radio operator on Sherman tanks during the second world war. He talks about the memories reignited by Fury, which stars Brad Pitt as a Sherman tank commander leading his team through Germany in 1945
This article contains mild spoilers
I first met Bill about five years ago in his local pub following a Remembrance Day service in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire. Recently widowed, he sat in the corner on his own, nursing his pint. We struck up a conversation about the war and over time became firm friends.
Bill was called up in 1942 and joined the Essex Yeomanry where he trained as a radio operator, later being assigned to Sherman tanks. Aged 21, he was one of the first ashore on D-Day, tasked with firing at a German gun emplacement defending the village of Le Hamel, before rejoining his tank. Within 45 minutes, he’d been shot by a German...
