    HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL OBSERVANCES OF GREELEY AND NORTHERN COLORADO

 Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, for over 35 years, the Holocaust 
Memorial Observances of Greeley and Northern Colorado have worked to 
raise awareness of the atrocities of Nazi crimes and the perils of 
anti-Semitism and have fostered greater understanding and knowledge 
throughout Colorado. Through various educational experiences, the 
Holocaust Memorial Observances have preserved many of the stories of 
the courage and bravery that have come to define that period.
  This month, the members of the Holocaust Memorial Observances 
committee hosted a series of discussions, films, and school visits, 
including a presentation by Holocaust survivor Peter Daniels, formerly 
known as Peter Berlowitz. Thanks to the committee's hard work, our 
children, grandchildren, and generations after them will have the 
opportunity to reflect on the experiences of people like Peter Daniels 
and his inspiring story of survival and determination.
  It is my pleasure to commend the Holocaust Memorial Observances of 
Greeley and Northern Colorado committee for their dedicated service to 
this critical cause and to congratulate the committee on continuing to 
provide a platform for individuals to counteract hate and 
prejudice.
