AN ACT to direct the commissioner of the office of general services to erect a monument to be known as the "New York state Holocaust memorial"

AI Summary

This bill directs the commissioner of the Office of General Services (OGS) to create a Holocaust memorial monument in the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. The monument, to be known as the "New York state Holocaust memorial," will serve two primary purposes: to memorialize the victims of the Holocaust and to educate the public about the historical significance of the Holocaust, as well as the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and other forms of intolerance. The bill requires the OGS commissioner to seek input from Holocaust remembrance organizations regarding the monument's design, programming, and location. By establishing this memorial in a prominent public space, the bill aims to ensure that the memory of Holocaust victims is preserved and that future generations learn about this tragic period of history, with the ultimate goal of promoting understanding, empathy, and preventing similar atrocities from occurring in the future. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
