SOURCE: Author
DIGEST: This resolution proclaims May 16, 2016, as California
Holocaust Memorial Day and urges all Californians to observe

ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)The Holocaust was a tragedy of proportions the world had never
before witnessed.
2)More than 70 years have passed since the tragic events we now
refer to as the Holocaust transpired, in which the
dictatorship of Nazi Germany murdered six million Jews as part
of a systematic program of genocide known as "The Final
Solution of the Jewish Question."
3)Jews were the primary victims, but they were not alone. Five
million other people were murdered in Nazi concentration camps

as part of a carefully orchestrated, state-sponsored program
of cultural, social, and political annihilation under the Nazi
tyranny.
4)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 the individual and communal 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.
This resolution proclaims May 16, 2016, as "California Holocaust
Memorial Day," and that Californians are urged to observe this
day of remembrance for victims of the Holocaust in an
appropriate manner.
