Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, told Jeff Simmons of WBAI 99.5 FM’s “City Watch” on Sept. 11 that the best way to remember the somber day as time passes is the way that Jews celebrate Passover.
“To do something that I like that my Jewish brothers and sisters do around Passover,” Adams told Simmons. “They constantly remind the next generation of the struggles and of the history.”
“And have dinner with your family members or loved ones,” he said. “Or use technology and have a Zoom with our young children. Or just do a family gathering.”
The mayor said he is seeing some people say that America deserved to be attacked, and “I’m hearing young people praising bin Laden and others.”
“We need to really explain the history of what happened that day, why it happened and how innocent people were lost,” he said. “That’s the best thing we can do as we reflect on Sept. 11, 2001.”
