AI Summary
This resolution proclaims April 24, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day and April 27, 2025, to May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance in Wisconsin, marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The resolution provides historical context about the Holocaust, highlighting that from 1933 to 1945, the Nazis and their collaborators systematically murdered 6 million Jews, which represented two-thirds of the European Jewish population, with 90 percent of Polish Jews killed. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering this dark period in human history to prevent its reoccurrence and combat antisemitism, noting that Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) was established by the Israeli Knesset in 1951 to commemorate the victims. It also acknowledges the ongoing global remembrance efforts, including ceremonies at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and the United Nations, and stresses the critical need to educate future generations about the Holocaust, particularly as the number of survivors diminishes.
