AJR25,1,3
1
Relating to:
proclaiming April 24, 2025, to be Holocaust Remembrance Day and
2
April 27, 2025, to May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance in
3
Wisconsin.
AJR25,1,6
4
Whereas, from 1933 to 1945, 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis and
5
their collaborators in the Holocaust as part of a systematic program of persecution
6
culminating in genocide, and millions of other people were targeted and killed; and
AJR25,1,8
7
Whereas, Jews who fell under German control in Eastern and Central Europe
8
were quickly and cruelly stripped of their rights and property; and
AJR25,1,12
9
Whereas, the Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators
10
comprised two-thirds of the European Jewish population, and in Poland, which
11
before the second World War included parts of modern-day Ukraine and Belarus,
12
the Jewish death toll was 90 percent; and
AJR25,2,2
13
Whereas, the Holocaust represents a dark period in the history of civilization
1
of mankind and must always be remembered in order to prevent its reoccurrence
2
and promote respect and common humanity; and
AJR25,2,6
3
Whereas, Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates
4
the millions of Jewish victims of the Holocaust, was established by the Israeli
5
parliament, the Knesset, in 1951. It is observed on the 27th of Nisan in the Hebrew
6
calendar, which marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising; and
AJR25,2,8
7
Whereas, the year 2025 marks the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of
8
Auschwitz-Birkenau; and
AJR25,2,12
9
Whereas, remembrance ceremonies are held throughout the United States
10
and around the world to remember the tragedy of the Holocaust, including at the
11
Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., in the halls of the United Nations in New
12
York City, and here in Wisconsin; and
AJR25,2,17
13
Whereas, following the recent acts of hatred and violence against the Jewish
14
Community, it is critical that we stand together to combat and educate about the
15
dangers of antisemitism and all forms of hate and bigotry in our communities and
16
across this State, so we ensure that suffering on the scale of the Holocaust truly
17
never does happen again; and
AJR25,2,20
18
Whereas, knowing that the events and root causes of the Holocaust must not
19
be forgotten and that, particularly as survivors diminish in number, links must be
20
forged to educate future generations; now, therefore, be it
AJR25,3,2
21
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
22
Legislature formally recognizes April 24, 2025, to be Holocaust Remembrance Day
23
and April 27, 2025, to May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance in
1
Wisconsin in order to raise public awareness about the Holocaust and its impact on
2
world history and our shared humanity.
