SUMMARY : Proclaims May 1 through May 8, 2011, 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 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
May 1 through May 8, 2011, 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.
