Bill Summary
26-1027 CONCERNING REMEMBRANCE OF THE HOLOCAUST.
AI Summary
This joint resolution, concerning remembrance of the Holocaust, acknowledges the historical persecution and mass murder of six million Jews and five million other civilians by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, a period referred to as the Holocaust, which derives its name from Greek words meaning "whole" and "burnt" and signifies destruction on a mass scale. The resolution highlights the rise of antisemitism as a political weapon used by the Nazis, the role of Israel as a refuge for survivors, and the bravery of non-Jews recognized as "Righteous Among the Nations" for saving Jews, as well as the liberation of concentration camps by Allied forces. It expresses concern over the alarming increase in antisemitic incidents in Colorado and globally, noting the passing of Holocaust survivors and the importance of educating younger generations about these atrocities, referencing a Colorado law requiring Holocaust and genocide studies for high school graduation. Therefore, the resolution calls for remembering the Holocaust, promoting anti-bias and genocide education programs in schools and universities to prevent antisemitic incidents, and urging the people of Colorado to understand the power of words, remember past injustices, and commit to preventing future atrocities, with copies to be sent to various organizations dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and education.
