                         HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, ``Work makes you free.''
  Today, I was thinking about that sign and about the psychological 
impact and the sadness that it must have had on millions of Holocaust 
survivors and on victims of the Holocaust as they walked into the 
concentration camps 70 years ago in Auschwitz and saw that sign, 
knowing they would never make it out free.
  I rise today in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the 
International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the 
liberation of Auschwitz.
  On this day, we must take a moment to honor the memory of the 
millions who lost their lives and of those who survived but experienced 
unspeakable horrors. We must always remember the tragedy of the 
Holocaust in order to ensure that this dark time in human history is 
never repeated. Injustices and violence against any person because of 
one's faith, race, or ethnic background should never be tolerated. 
Today and every day, we must honor the memory of the Holocaust victims 
and ensure we renew our commitment to ``never again.''
