SJR137,1,12
10
Whereas, the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the systematic state-
11
sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by Nazi
12
Germany and its collaborators during World War II, and millions of others; and
SJR137,2,2
13
Whereas, the memory of the Holocaust serves as a stark reminder of the

2
people; and
SJR137,2,5

11
Whereas, survivors of the Holocaust and their families and communities, as

testaments to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of ensuring

SJR137,2,18
15
Whereas, this day calls for the education of future generations about the
16
history and impact of the Holocaust and the importance of combating antisemitism,
