[H. Res. 316 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        April 16, 1996.
Whereas the Holocaust is a basic fact of history, the denial of which is no less 
        absurd than the denial of the occurrence of the Second World War;
Whereas the Holocaust--the systematic, state-sponsored mass murders by Nazi 
        Germany of 6,000,000 Jews, alongside millions of others, in the name of 
        a perverse racial theory--stands as one of the most ferociously heinous 
        state acts the world has ever known; and
Whereas those who promote the denial of the Holocaust do so out of profound 
        ignorance or for the purpose of furthering anti-Semitism and racism: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) Deplores the persistent, ongoing and malicious efforts 
        by some persons in this country and abroad to deny the 
        historical reality of the Holocaust; and
            (2) Commends the vital, ongoing work of the United States 
        Holocaust Memorial Museum, which memorializes the victims of 
        the Holocaust and teaches all who are willing to learn 
        profoundly compelling and universally resonant moral lessons.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
