                     HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY 2023

  (Mr. KEAN of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Yom HaShoah, 
a solemn day where people of all faiths have come together to honor the 
over 6 million Jews who lost their lives during the Holocaust.
  Today, we remember the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and 
reaffirm our commitment to never forget the lessons of one of the 
darkest chapters in human history.
  It is also a day to recognize the survivors who have borne witness to 
the horrors of genocide and have shown us the strength of the human 
spirit in the face of unimaginable evil.
  It is our responsibility to ensure that future generations learn the 
lessons of the Holocaust. We must teach our children a full and 
accurate history so that these acts of hate and intolerance never 
happen again.
  As we observe Holocaust Remembrance Day, let's honor the memory of 
those who perished, celebrate the resilience of those who survived, and 
recommit ourselves to creating a world where hate and intolerance have 
no place.
