Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso was recently the Grand Marshal at the annual 5K Walk held to support the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County. As part of his Grand Marshal duties he was tasked with cutting the ribbon to kick-off the walk.
In a ceremony before the walk, he spoke about how his family bravely saved Jewish lives during WWII when he was growing up in Italy. Afterwards US Congressman Suozzi presented the Assemblyman with a plaque to commemorate and recognize his family’s actions.
“It was truly my honor to speak at the Holocaust Center and to show respect for all they do so that we never forget the horrors that happened,” said D’Urso.
