SUMMARY : Proclaims April 20 through April 26, 2009, as
California Holocaust Memorial Week and urges 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 60 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 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 20 through April 26, 2009, as the Days of Remembrance of
the Victims of the Holocaust, including the International Day
of Remembrance known as Yom HaShoah, on April 21, 2009.
