United States President Joe Biden delivered an official White House statement on Wednesday commemorating the three-year anniversary of the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The synagogue, located in the Squirrel Hill area of Pittsburgh, was attacked by a lone gunman who killed 11 worshippers and wounded six others.

"As we mark three years since this heinous attack, we resolve to remember the lives lost and commit to protecting a future worthy of their memories," Biden explained in a White House briefing statement.

He urged Americans to also "stand up and speak out against antisemitism with clarity and conviction."

The Tree of Life Synagogue shooting was the deadliest attack on American Jews in United States history.

"That day and those that followed remind all of us to embrace the better angels of our nature – and to turn pain into purpose," Biden said. "We must recognize in others our shared humanity and strive to summon unexpected faith in unanticipated moments – in the hope that we might heal and rebuild.

"That continues to be the work of my Administration – laying out our country's first-ever comprehensive strategy to address domestic terrorism, signing legislation aimed at strengthening our efforts to counter unlawful acts of hate, taking executive actions to protect houses of worship, and pressing forward with executive and legislative action to reduce all forms of gun violence," the president added.

"May the survivors and the families of the victims hold fast to the teachings of their faith and find comfort in the embrace of their community and their country," he closed.
