                      HONORING ROSITTA KENIGSBERG

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, our Nation has many outstanding 
citizens. One such individual is Rositta Kenigsberg, a child of 
Holocaust survivors, born in the displaced persons camp of Bindermichel 
in Austria.
  Rositta is the founding Chair of the Children of Holocaust Survivors 
of Southeast Florida. She also serves as the executive vice president 
of the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center in North Miami 
Beach.
  Rositta has worked with Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, and she 
served on the North American Advisory Board for the ``March of the 
Living.''
  She has traveled to the concentration camps of Poland to retrace the 
steps of her father, the sole survivor of a family of over 120 members. 
She has contributed countless hours and worked endlessly to implement 
Holocaust education in the State of Florida.
  Rositta currently serves a presidential appointment to the United 
States Holocaust Memorial Council. Please join me in congratulating 
Rositta Kenigsberg for her contributions to Holocaust education and to 
Holocaust survivors as well as their children.
