Bill > HRes87

This resolution commemorates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp in occupied Poland, by recognizing the immense human tragedy of the Holocaust and addressing ongoing issues of anti-Semitism. The resolution highlights that during World War II, the Nazi regime systematically murdered approximately 6 million Jews and millions of other individuals, with nearly 1.1 million people killed at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945, including Jews, Poles, Romani people, Soviet prisoners, and other minority groups who were subjected to torture, forced labor, medical experiments, and murder. Noting the United Nations' designation of January 27 as an International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the resolution calls on Americans to remember the victims, honor Holocaust survivors, and work towards tolerance and justice. It also addresses the recent rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States, including a 63% increase in hate crimes from 2022 to 2023 and over 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack in Israel. The resolution ultimately seeks to educate future generations about the dangers of intolerance and prevent similar atrocities from occurring again.
