#bjai,mr4 ,brendan ,f4 ,boyle of        
,pennsylvania 7for himself1 ,mr4        
,bilirakis1 and ,ms4 ,bonamici7         
submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,education and ,labor  ,,resolution     
,expressing the sense of the ,house that
 more should be done to instill         
,holocaust education in school curricula
 around the country4  ,whereas more than
 #gj years after the conclusion of      
,world ,war ,,ii1 it is even more       
important now to remember the events of 
the ,holocaust and the genocidal        
pursuits of the ,nazi regime2 ,whereas  
troubling numbers of people are ignorant
 of the events of the ,holocaust and    
there are even those who deny that the  
,holocaust occurred2 ,whereas lies      
continue to be spread with the goal of  
perpetuating racist1 xenophobic1 and    
anti-,semitic principles2 ,whereas these

 insensitive beliefs are all too common1
 and only serve to dishonor those that  
were persecuted1 tortured1 and killed at
 the hands of the ,nazis2 ,whereas with 
each passing year we lose some of our   
greatest ambassadors and storytellers as
 ,holocaust survivors age and pass away2
 ,whereas in the words of ,holocaust    
survivor ,elie ,wiesel1 not all victims 
were ,jews1 but all ,jews were victims2 
,whereas many ,members of ,congress are 
proud to represent large populations of 
survivors in each of their districts2   
,whereas too many students are          
graduating with little exposure to      
,holocaust education and its universal  
relevance2 ,whereas education about this
 tragedy is our best defense against    
intolerance and bigotry1 and against    
history repeating itself2 ,whereas we   
are proud that #aa ,states require by   
law that schools teach students about   
the ,holocaust and the lessons that can 
be learned from that tragic chapter of  
history2 and ,whereas ,congress has     

consistently acted to preserve the      
memory of the ,holocaust1 including     
establishing a national ,holocaust      
,remembrance ,day in #aigh3 ,now1       
therefore1 be it  ,that-- 7#a7 the      
,house of ,representatives--  7,a7      
commends ,holocaust education activists 
on their longstanding efforts to include
 ,holocaust education in ,states' public
 school curricula across the country2   
and  7,b7 encourages more ,states and   
school districts to include ,holocaust  
education in their curricula and support
 continued efforts to move this         
initiative forward2 and  7#b7 it is the 
sense of the ,house of ,representatives 
that more should be done to instill in  
the ,nation's schools the promise that  
we will never forget the horrors of the 
,holocaust and must always work to      
prevent such atrocities from occurring  
in the future4
