I couldn't access the above. Maybe you'll have better luck. Even old Netanyahu speeches are well worth listening to if you can.

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, 27 Nisan, starts tonight (15 Apr 2015) at sundown.
Shoah in Hebrew means catastrophe, or utter destruction. (Since we are a pagan society, we better know it by the Greek term Holocaust, which means "sacrifice by fire.") Yom HaShoa remembers the atrocities that were committed against the Jewish people during World War II. It is a memorial day for those who died in the “Holocaust” and a reminder in hopes that this kind of Shoah will never happen again.
In these days of rising anti-Semitism and sympathy for radical Islam, it is also a reminder that we need to be more vigilant and more vocal whenever we hear anti-Semitic remarks either in the media or in person. Remember Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning that all evil needs to win is for good men to do nothing.

Just a couple of quotes from PM Netanyahu today:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tonight at the annual Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem: "In the years before World War II, the free world tried to appease the Nazi regime, to gain its trust, to curry its favor through gestures. There were those who warned that a compromising policy would only whet Hitler’s appetite, but these warnings were ignored due to the natural human desire for calm at all costs."
"As the civilized world is lulled into slumber on a bed of illusions – the rulers of Iran continue to encourage subversion and terrorism, and disseminate destruction and death. The powers turn a deaf ear to the crowds in Iran shouting: “Death to America; Death to Israel.” They turn a blind eye to the scenes of execution of those who oppose the regime and members of minority populations. And they hold their peace in the face of the massive arming of terrorist organizations. At the most, they make a halfhearted statement for the record."
