    RESOLUTION ON IMMIGRANT FAMILIES BY THE CHILD SURVIVORS OF THE 
                         HOLOCAUST, LOS ANGELES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 10, 2018

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise to include in the Record the 
following resolution authored by the Board of Directors of the Child 
Survivors of the Holocaust, Los Angeles. The Child Survivors of the 
Holocaust is an organization dedicated to supporting those who survived 
the Holocaust as children, and who today raise awareness of human 
rights violations, particularly those affecting children. I urge 
Congress to heed their words of concern for the treatment of immigrant 
children and families through the policy of child separation.

       We, the elected members of the Board of Directors of the 
     Child Survivors of the Holocaust, Los Angeles (CSHLA), 
     protest the inhumane mistreatment of innocent, immigrant 
     children by our government officials.

       The missions of the CSHLA include to:
       (1) remember the Holocaust,
       (2) educate our community and the public by telling our 
     personal life-stories, and
       (3) raise awareness and prevent such tragedies from 
     happening to anyone today or in the future.
       We who personally experienced the insecurity, anguish, and 
     stress from cruel separation as victims of the Third Reich, 
     are dismayed and outraged by the ruthless separation of 
     infants, toddlers, and adolescents from their parents. The 
     irreparable damage resulting from such actions has been 
     scientifically and clinically proven to impair human 
     development. Keeping the mission of our organization in mind, 
     we reject these abusively tragic tactics or the racist 
     prejudices underlying them.
