                               RESOLUTION


 
    Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the 
                    Auschwitz death camp in Poland.

Whereas, on January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland was 
        liberated by Allied Forces after almost five years of murder, rape, and 
        torture;
Whereas more than one million innocent civilians were murdered at Auschwitz 
        alone;
Whereas Auschwitz symbolizes the brutality of the Holocaust;
Whereas Americans must ``never forget'' this terrible crime against humanity and 
        must educate the generations to come so as to promote the understanding 
        of the dangers of intolerance in order to prevent similar injustices 
        from happening ever again; and
Whereas commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz will instill in all 
        Americans a greater awareness of the Holocaust: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate hereby--
            (1) commemorates January 27, 1995, as the fiftieth 
        anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp by 
        Allied Forces in the Second World War; and
            (2) calls upon all Americans to remember the more than one 
        million innocent victims who were murdered at Auschwitz as part 
        of the Holocaust.
                                 <all>
