                         Monday, April 28, 2014

  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in observance of 
``Yom HaShoah'' or the day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust.
  The six million Jewish victims and the millions of others who 
perished during those dark and horrible days will never be forgotten.
  The Jewish community and individuals across the world have committed 
themselves to the memories of those lost but also to the strength of 
those who survived.
  As we mark another Holocaust Remembrance Day, and more time passes 
since those unspeakable atrocities were committed, we should never 
forget the precursors, context and attitudes that allowed such crimes 
to be committed.
  Never again will peoples of free, liberal, open democracies stand 
idly by and watch an aggressor perpetrate crimes against humanity.
  Today, we remember those that rose up and overcame and I stand with 
them.
