                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives respecting 
            curriculum to teach about the horrors of nazism.

Whereas the brutal murder of millions upon millions of innocent people and the 
        unspeakable attempt to commit genocide against the Jews by the Nazis are 
        crimes unparalleled in the history of mankind and constitute acts which 
        cannot be forgiven and forgotten;
Whereas despite the enormity of the atrocities carried out by the Nazis, it has 
        been erroneously argued that time should heal all wounds and that 
        generations born after the Holocaust should not have to bear 
        responsibility for that tragedy; and
Whereas since a crucial linchpin to Nazi ideology was racism, it is incumbent on 
        our society to teach its children that racism in any form is an anathema 
        to all mankind and that any group which advocates a policy of racial 
        supremacy is no less guilty than the Nazi and Fascist governments which 
        murdered millions in the name of racial purity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that the Department of 
Education should develop a curriculum for instructing primary and 
secondary school children in the history of the Nazi rise to power in 
Germany, the social and economic forces which were the foundations of 
nazism, and the resulting Holocaust which was perpetrated against 
humanity by the Nazis.
