                REMEMBRANCE OF VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                           HON. PETER T. KING

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 16, 2018

  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Holocaust 
Remembrance Week and the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto 
Uprising.
  The Holocaust was the systematic persecution of six million Jews by 
the Nazi regime. This week, we remember the millions of people who 
suffered from these crimes. This year is also the 75th anniversary of 
the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, when the remaining imprisoned Jews rose up 
against the Nazi SS.
  I am dedicated to honoring the memory of those who perished in the 
Holocaust. That is why funding of the Holocaust Memorial Museum is 
essential. It is also imperative to provide assistance to those who 
survived the Holocaust, which is why I support funding for the 
Holocaust Survivors Assistance Program.
  I encourage my fellow Members of Congress to join me in remembering 
the six million people who died in the Holocaust. With our continued 
efforts to fund the Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Holocaust 
Survivors Assistance Program, we may continue to honor the legacy of 
those who perished.
