SUMMARY: Proclaims April 12, 2015, through April 19, 2015, as
California Holocaust Memorial Week and would urge Californians
to observe these days of remembrance for the victims of the
Holocaust in an appropriate manner. Specifically, 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 inhumanity.
3)The United States Holocaust Memorial Council has designated
April 12, 2015, through April 19, 2015, 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.
FISCAL EFFECT: None
The Senate amendments add coauthors and make a technical change
to the resolution.
