                         AN EVENT OF REMEMBRANCE

                                 ______


                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 27, 1995
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge 
the Dallas Memorial Center for Holocaust Studies, in cooperation with 
the Jewish Community Relations Council, the Anti-Defamation League, the 
Greater Dallas Community of Churches, and the Greater Dallas Veterans 
Council, for their work in putting together an event for the entire 
Dallas community celebrating and honoring the 50th anniversary of those 
heroic individuals who participated in the liberation of concentration 
camps during World War II. This tribute to these fine individuals will 
occur on February 12 at the Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church in 
Dallas.
  This event will most certainly rekindle memories of the worst 
atrocity in contemporary history and is a historical milestone that 
should be deeply praised. It is only through this type of continual 
recognition of those atrocities of the past and the heroism that 
stopped it that we can work to prevent such inhumanity from occurring 
in the future. We must remember both that while there will always be 
those who would commit horrendous acts against humanity, it is up to 
all of us to stand up and stop them. We must make certain that similar 
atrocities to those committed in concentration camps never do happen 
again. We need not look far to see that all around the world we are 
confronted by barbarism. We cannot ever allow ourselves to forget what 
terrible atrocities can occur if acts of barbarism are allowed to 
progress.
  Again, I commend those involved with putting together this important 
event of remembrance.
