Bill > SCR46

This resolution proclaims April 24, 2025, as California Holocaust Memorial Day, a day dedicated to remembering the approximately 6,000,000 Jews and millions of other victims murdered by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. The resolution acknowledges the systematic genocide known as "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question" and emphasizes the importance of educating future generations about this tragic historical event. It recognizes not only the victims but also the heroism of those who resisted the Nazis, including American soldiers who liberated concentration camps. The resolution highlights the recent rise of antisemitism and antisemitic violence, particularly since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, and calls on Californians to recommit to principles of equality, human rights, and individual freedom. By designating this memorial day, the resolution aims to ensure that people actively remember the Holocaust, remain vigilant against hatred and persecution, and learn from this dark period in human history to prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future.
