  Ms. LOIS FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
Holocaust Learning Experience, hosted by MorseLife in my Congressional 
District. This year, International Holocaust Remembrance Day marks 79 
years since the liberation of the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau 
by the Red Army and Allied troops. On January 27, 2024, the United 
Nations General Assembly officially reminded the world of the 6 million 
Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of 
Nazi persecution. We should never forget the atrocities of the 
Holocaust. At liberation, allies witnessed the devastation of human 
remains and the destruction of the human spirit. This is the day we 
also acknowledge the multigenerational impact of the horror and terror 
perpetrated against innocent women, men and children.
  Globally, we are witnessing an alarming rise in antisemitism, and it 
is more important than ever to recognize the critical lessons from the 
Holocaust. I am proud to recognize the Holocaust Learning Experience, 
to continue to develop, deploy and deliver Holocaust education to 
public schools. Last year, the Holocaust Learning Experience was 
awarded seed funding from the state of Florida to cast the education 
statewide, scalable, and the Holocaust Learning Experience is poised to 
be in the 67 school districts, impacting approximately 2.1 million 
students.
  I wish to congratulate and encourage the Holocaust Learning 
Experience to continue changing lives of our nation's young people. 
Each day, the Experience teaches students to stand up, not stand by.
