This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall, located in the Capitol Visitor Center, for a Holocaust remembrance ceremony on April 23, 2025. The resolution specifically allows for the hall to be used for a commemorative event honoring the victims of the Holocaust, which is an annual observance dedicated to memorializing the millions of Jewish people and other groups who were murdered during the Nazi regime's genocide during World War II. The Architect of the Capitol, who is responsible for maintaining and managing the United States Capitol complex, will be responsible for determining and overseeing the specific physical preparations required for the ceremony. By passing this resolution, Congress is formally recognizing and supporting the importance of remembering this tragic historical event and honoring its victims.
