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.
