           SUBJECT  :    California Holocaust Memorial Week

           SOURCE :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims April 7 through April 14,  
          2013, as California Holocaust Memorial Week and urges  
          Californians to observe these days of remembrance for the  
          victims of the Holocaust in an appropriate manner.  

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1. More than 65 years have passed since the tragic events we now  
             call the Holocaust transpired, in which six million Jews and  
             five million others were murdered as part of a carefully  
             orchestrated, state-sponsored program of cultural, social,  
             and political annihilation under Nazi tyranny.

          2. We must recognize the heroism of those who provided  
             assistance to the victims of the Nazi regime and teach our  
             children and future generations that acts of heroism during  
             the Holocaust serve as a powerful example of how our nation  
             and its citizens can, and must, respond to acts of hatred and  
                                                                CONTINUED

                                                                     Page

             inhumanity.

          3. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council has designated  
             April 7 through April 14, 2013, as the Days of Remembrance of  
             the Victims of the Holocaust; and we, the people of  
             California, should actively rededicate ourselves to the  
             principles of human rights, individual freedom, and equal  
             protection under the laws of a just and democratic society.

          This resolution proclaims April 7 through April 14, 2013, as  
          California Holocaust Memorial Week and urges Californians to  
          observe these days of remembrance for the victims of the  
          Holocaust in an appropriate manner.
