A local resident and Holocaust survivor was honored by the Murrieta City Council last week, just days after city officials took part in a Day of Holocaust Remembrance event.

Dr. Robert Gyori was presented with a certificate of recognition at the April 21 City Council Meeting. The presentation was made by council members Rick Gibbs and Jonathan Ingram, who attended a service April 19 in Temecula.

"To see what was done to a people strictly because of hate in the world ... it was very emotional," Gibbs said during the presentation. "There were a lot of sobs and prayer and thoughts and remembrances."
