AI Summary

This resolution proclaims April 24, 2025, as California Holocaust Memorial Day, urging all Californians to commemorate and remember the victims of the Holocaust. The resolution provides historical context, highlighting the Nazi regime's systematic murder of 6 million Jews and millions of other people during "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question," a state-sponsored genocide during World War II. It emphasizes the importance of remembering this tragedy, recognizing the heroism of those who resisted the Nazis and helped victims, and teaching future generations about the horrors of antisemitism, racism, and persecution. The resolution also notes the recent rise in antisemitic violence, particularly following 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 the atrocities of the Holocaust are never forgotten and that society remains vigilant against hatred and tyranny.
