Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in New York State, in alignment with the United Nations-designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The resolution provides historical context about the Holocaust, highlighting that between 1933 and 1945, 5.8 million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis, comprising two-thirds of European Jewry, with some countries like Poland experiencing over 90 percent Jewish population loss. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering this tragic period to prevent future genocides, noting that January 27th was chosen because it marks the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp where over one million Jews were killed. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges recent acts of hatred against the Jewish community and stresses the critical need to educate future generations about the Holocaust, stand against all forms of hate and bigotry, and ensure such atrocities never happen again. The legislative body resolves to formally request the governor's proclamation and will transmit an official copy of the resolution to her.
