Commemorating the observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day in the State of New York on April 23, 2025

AI Summary

This resolution commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 23, 2025, by acknowledging the profound historical tragedy of the Nazi Holocaust, during which 5.8 million Jews were systematically murdered between 1933 and 1945, representing approximately two-thirds of European Jewry. The resolution emphasizes the critical importance of remembering this genocide, noting that in some countries like Poland, over 90 percent of the Jewish population was killed. It highlights the moral imperative of remembrance, stressing that indifference to such atrocities cannot be tolerated and that learning from this dark period in human history is essential to prevent similar genocides in the future. The resolution, recognizing Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah in Hebrew), calls on the people of New York to remain vigilant against tyranny, bigotry, and hatred, and to continually rededicate themselves to the principle of equal justice for all people. Additionally, it formally pauses legislative deliberations to commemorate the day and directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Governor of New York and an organization called The Blue Card.
