AI Summary
This resolution formally recognizes and commemorates the Holocaust, marking April 24, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day and April 27-May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance in Wisconsin. The resolution provides historical context about the genocide during the Nazi era from 1933 to 1945, during which 6 million Jews and millions of other people were systematically murdered, with approximately 90 percent of Poland's Jewish population killed. The document emphasizes the importance of remembering this tragedy to prevent its recurrence, highlights the establishment of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) by the Israeli Knesset in 1951, and notes that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau's liberation. Additionally, the resolution calls for combating antisemitism and all forms of hate, recognizing the critical need to educate future generations about the Holocaust, especially as the number of survivors diminishes, and to ensure that such widespread suffering never happens again.
