to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, 2026.

AI Summary

This resolution commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2026, marking the eighty-first anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, a site where the Nazi regime murdered over 1.1 million people during the Holocaust. The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the systematic persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The resolution emphasizes that remembering the Holocaust serves as a crucial reminder of the destructive consequences of intolerance and bigotry, highlighting the importance of promoting respect for human rights and the dignity of all individuals. It acknowledges the persistent and growing problem of antisemitism, defined as harassment based on Jewish origin, ancestry, ethnicity, identity, affiliation, or faith, and notes the recent surge in antisemitism and extremism globally. The resolution encourages citizens of Tennessee to reflect on the lessons of the Holocaust and to actively work towards a future free from antisemitism, hatred, and bigotry, recognizing the resilience of survivors and the importance of preventing such atrocities from ever happening again by educating future generations about the history and impact of the Holocaust and the need to combat all forms of hate.
