                       Tuesday, January 17, 2023

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Anna Salton Eisen, a 
founding member of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville. After the 
hostage situation at the synagogue, Anna became a champion for speaking 
out against antisemitism.
  Anna has spoken across Texas to educate communities about the history 
of antisemitism. She is the daughter of 2 Holocaust survivors and has 
continually researched the Holocaust and its legacies. The attack at 
Congregation Beth Israel gave her the opportunity to use her knowledge 
of antisemitism and its historical context to make a difference in our 
community and communities across the nation. Anna will attend this 
year's White House Hanukkah Ceremony to be an advocate and 
representative of the Jewish Community in North Texas.
  I commend Anna, for helping lead our community to recovery following 
the attack and for all she does to speak out against antisemitism.
