  Mr. SANTORUM (for himself, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Nelson of Florida, Mr.

Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. DeWine, Mr. Levin, Mr. Chafee, Mr. Frist, Mr.

                              S. Res. 445

       Whereas the Holocaust involved the systematic persecution 
     and genocide of millions of innocent Jewish men, women, and 
     children, along with millions of others, by the Nazis under 
     the leadership of Adolf Hitler;
       Whereas an estimated 6,000,000 Jews and many others were 
     killed in the Holocaust;
       Whereas millions of survivors of the Holocaust endured 
     enormous suffering through violence, torture, slave labor, 
     and involuntary medical experimentation;
       Whereas in the 61 years since the end of the Holocaust, 
     this tragic event has helped to teach the people of the world 
     awareness of the danger of hatred, anti-Semitism, bigotry, 
     and racism, and the importance of compassion and 
     understanding diversity;
       Whereas Holocaust Remembrance Day is held every year in 
     remembrance of the Holocaust and its millions of victims: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on 
     April 25, 2006;
       (2) remembers the 6,000,000 Jews and many others who were 
     killed by the Nazis, and honors the millions of survivors of 
     the Holocaust; and
       (3) encourages all Americans to commemorate the occasion 
     through reflection, acts of compassion, and education about 
     the horrific consequences of anti-Semitism, bigotry, racism 
     and hatred.
