This resolution recognizes January 27, 2025, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. The resolution highlights the importance of remembering the Holocaust's historical significance, particularly in light of recent events like the October 7, 2023 attacks and rising antisemitism in the United States. Drawing from a 2005 United Nations General Assembly resolution, it emphasizes the need to honor Holocaust victims, support survivors, and acknowledge the liberators and rescuers. The resolution calls on Kentucky citizens to remain vigilant against hatred, persecution, and tyranny, and to actively promote human dignity by confronting antisemitism and hate in all its forms. By marking this day, the Kentucky House of Representatives aims to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten and that such atrocities are never repeated.
