The Alabama Holocaust Commission, 2025 State Yom HaShoah Commemoration on April 22, 2025, honored
AI Summary
This resolution honors the 2025 State Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) Commemoration on April 22, 2025, hosted by the Alabama Holocaust Commission. Yom HaShoah, established by Israel in 1951, is a day of remembrance for the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, marking a tragic period of hatred and genocide. The resolution specifically recognizes Alabama Holocaust survivors who died in the past year, including Bernie Echt, Robert May, Charles Pollack, and Genya Safyanova, and acknowledges survivor Izaia "Jack" Schachter. Drawing from philosopher George Santayana's quote about remembering the past to avoid repeating it, the resolution calls for remembering the Holocaust's horrific details, including concentration camps like Dachau and Auschwitz, and the systematic murder of millions. The legislature resolves to recognize and honor the memory of Holocaust victims and survivors, emphasizing the importance of continuing commemorative events to ensure that future generations never forget the Holocaust's significance and horror.
