                               RESOLUTION


 
     Expressing the sense of the Senate in commemorating Holocaust 
                            Remembrance Day.

Whereas the Holocaust involved the systematic persecution and genocide of 
        millions of innocent Jewish men, women, and children, along with 
        millions of others, by the Nazis under the leadership of Adolf Hitler;
Whereas an estimated 6,000,000 Jews and many others were killed in the 
        Holocaust;
Whereas millions of survivors of the Holocaust endured enormous suffering 
        through violence, torture, slave labor, and involuntary medical 
        experimentation;
Whereas in the 61 years since the end of the Holocaust, this tragic event has 
        helped to teach the people of the world awareness of the danger of 
        hatred, anti-Semitism, bigotry, and racism, and the importance of 
        compassion and understanding diversity; and
Whereas Holocaust Remembrance Day is held every year in remembrance of the 
        Holocaust and its millions of victims: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on 
        April 25, 2006;
            (2) remembers the 6,000,000 Jews and many others who were 
        killed by the Nazis, and honors the millions of survivors of 
        the Holocaust; and
            (3) encourages all Americans to commemorate the occasion 
        through reflection, acts of compassion, and education about the 
        horrific consequences of anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism, and 
        hatred.
