                       IN HONOR OF HELEN ZIGMOND

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LIZ CHENEY

                               of wyoming

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 24, 2020

  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the 
life of Cheyenne resident Helen Zigmond.
  Born in Czechoslovakia on October 27, 1927, Helen and her family were 
abducted and taken to Auschwitz during the Nazi occupation in WWII. In 
1954 Helen and her husband, Eugene, moved to Cheyenne where they stayed 
for the rest of their lives. Helen took pride in her music store and 
was active in the local synagogue and the community. Helen was the last 
known Holocaust survivor in Wyoming and her presence in the Cheyenne 
community will be greatly missed. Her story, and those of other 
survivors, must serve as a reminder to future generations that we all 
have an obligation to pledge ``Never Again.''
  Again, Madam Speaker, I want to honor and celebrate the life of Helen 
Zigmond and extend my condolences to her friends and family.
