JERUSALEM, Israel – CBN News recently sat down with Virginia’s Attorney-General Jason Miyares. Miyares co-led a bipartisan delegation of 8 state Attorneys-General for a 9 day trip to Israel. However, unlike many other bipartisan delegations coming to Israel, Miyares first brought the state officials to Poland to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most heinous site of Nazi Germany’s attempt to eradicate the Jews of Europe during World War II.
