This resolution declares January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in Michigan, acknowledging the systematic persecution and murder of European Jews by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. The resolution highlights the devastating scale of the Holocaust, which killed more than six million Jews and reduced the global Jewish population by one-third, while also recognizing that millions of other individuals were oppressed and killed due to their religious beliefs, national origin, ethnicity, political views, and other characteristics. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering this historical atrocity as a stark reminder of the dangers of tyranny, authoritarianism, bigotry, and hatred, and calls on the people of Michigan to reflect on this tragedy, honor the victims and survivors, and commit to preventing such brutality through education and remembrance. By establishing this commemorative day, the resolution seeks to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten and that society remains vigilant against discrimination and violence.
