REMEMBERING LIBERATION OF AUSCHWITZ
(Mr. FULCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, 75 years ago today, Allied armies liberated
the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz. Unfortunately, more than 6
million of God's children perished before that happened. This can never
be forgotten.
I agree with General Eisenhower's comments at the time: Educate
people on the atrocities committed so they don't happen again.
That is why I am proud to have cosponsored the Never Again Education
Act. The bill authorizes Federal funds to be used to teach about the
Holocaust. Ensuring that citizens know the uncensored truth of history
will help punctuate the message that anti-Semitism is abhorrent and
will not be tolerated.
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, Representative Carolyn Maloney
from New York, who took the lead on initiating this bill.
Finally, to the families of the victims so tragically lost: They will
never be forgotten.
