AI Summary
This concurrent resolution recognizes Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) from sundown on April 23rd to nightfall on April 24th, 2025, as a time to commemorate the approximately six million Jewish victims of the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. The resolution honors the courage and resilience of Jewish individuals who resisted oppression, including those who participated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, and emphasizes the importance of remembering this historical tragedy. It calls for observing the day through activities such as moments of silence, candle-lighting ceremonies, educational programs, and synagogue services, while also highlighting the critical need to combat antisemitism, racism, and all forms of bigotry. The resolution underscores the significance of educating future generations about the Holocaust to prevent similar atrocities and to promote human dignity, justice, and understanding across communities.
