  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 6 million Jews who lost 
their lives in the Holocaust. I pay tribute to these innocent men, 
women, and children who died at the hands of the brutal Nazi regime.
  While the Nazis were defeated by Allied Forces 60 years ago, the 
specter of bigotry, prejudice, and intolerance has tragically survived. 
The best way to honor the victims of the Holocaust is to ensure that 
such an event never happens again. Yet, with every year and every 
generation that passes this tragedy becomes less a reality and more a 
story to read about in a history book.
  Everyone of us shares in the responsibility to make sure those who 
have died in the Holocaust have not done so in vain.
