,s4 ,,res4 #dag  ,,in ,,the ,,senate    
,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states  ,november 
#ab1 #bjai,mr4 ,murphy submitted the    
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign          
,relations  ,,resolution  ,commemorating
 the #hast anniversary of               
,kristallnacht1 or the ,night of ,broken
 ,glass4  ,whereas ,november #i1 #bjai1 
through ,november #aj1 #bjai1 marks the 
#hast anniversary of ,kristallnacht1 or 
the ,night of ,broken ,glass2 ,whereas  
,kristallnacht began as a pogrom        
authorized by ,nazi party officials and 
was carried out by members of the       
,sturmabteilungen 7commonly known as the
 ,,sa71 the ,schutzstaffel 7commonly    
known as the ,,ss71 and the ,hitler     
,youth2 ,whereas ,kristallnacht marked  
the first large-scale anti-,semitic     
operation of the ,nazi ,party and a     
crucial turning point in ,nazi          
anti-,semitic policy2 ,whereas1 during  
,kristallnacht1 synagogues1 homes1 and  

businesses in ,jewish communities were  
attacked1 resulting in murders and      
arrests of ,jewish people in ,germany   
and in ,austrian and ,czechoslovakian   
territories controlled by the ,nazis2   
,whereas the events of ,kristallnacht   
resulted in the burning and destruction 
of #bfg synagogues1 the looting of      
thousands of businesses and homes1 the  
desecration of ,jewish cemeteries1 the  
murder of #ia ,jews1 and the arrest and 
deportation of #cj1jjj ,jewish men to   
concentration camps2 ,whereas the shards
 of broken glass from the windows of    
synagogues1 ,jewish homes1 and          
,jewish-owned businesses ransacked      
during the violence that littered the   
streets gave the pogrom the name of     
,kristallnacht1 commonly translated as  
the ,night of ,broken ,glass2 ,whereas  
,kristallnacht-- 7#a7 proved to be a    
crucial turning point in the ,holocaust1
 marking a shift from a policy of       
removing ,jews from ,germany and        
,german-occupied lands to murdering     

millions of people2 and  7#b7 was a     
tragic precursor to the ,second ,world  
,war2 ,whereas1 despite numerous global 
efforts to eradicate hate1              
manifestations of anti-,semitism and    
other forms of intolerance continue to  
harm societies on a global scale2 and   
,whereas1 in #bjah-- 7#a7 anti-,semitic 
acts in ,france increased by more than  
#gj percent compared to the previous    
year1 according to data from the        
,government of ,france2 and  7#b7       
anti-,semitic crimes in ,germany1 which 
include hate speech1 increased by #bj   
percent1 according to data from the     
,government of ,germany2  ,whereas1     
because hate crimes in the ,european    
,union are generally under reported1 the
 real figures on anti-,semitism in      
,france1 ,germany1 and other states in  
the ,european ,union are likely much    
higher2 ,whereas1 while the ,united     
,states has made progress towards       
addressing anti-,semitism1 recent events
 demonstrate that much work remains2    

,whereas1 in #bjag1 the                 
,anti-,defamation ,league recorded      
#a1ihf anti-,semitic incidents across   
the ,united ,states1 including physical 
assaults1 vandalism1 and attacks on     
,jewish institutions1 which represents a
 #eg-percent increase compared to       
anti-,semitic incidents recorded in     
#bjaf2 ,whereas recent anti-,semitic    
acts in the ,united ,states include--   
7#a7 the shooting at the ,tree of ,life 
,synagogue in ,pittsburgh1              
,pennsylvania1 in ,october1 #bjah2 and  
7#b7 the shooting at the ,chabad of     
,poway ,synagogue in ,poway1            
,california1 in ,april1 #bjai2 ,whereas1
 according to the ,anti-,defamation     
,league1 since the ,tree of ,life       
,shooting occurred1 at least #ac ,white 
supremacists have been arrested for     
their alleged roles in terrorist plots1 
attacks1 or threats against the ,jewish 
community in the ,united ,states2 and   
,whereas ,kristallnacht teaches mankind 
how hate can proliferate and erode      

societies and serves as a reminder that 
the ,united ,states must advance global 
efforts to ensure that barbarism and    
mass murder never occur again3 ,now1    
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,senate--   
7#a7 recognizes the #hast anniversary of
 ,kristallnacht2  7#b7 pays tribute to  
the more than #f1jjj1jjj ,jewish people 
killed during the ,holocaust and the    
families affected by the tragedy2  7#c7 
continues to support ,united ,states    
efforts to address the horrible legacy  
of the ,holocaust and combat            
manifestations of anti-,semitism        
domestically and globally2 and  7#d7    
will continue to raise awareness and act
 to eradicate the continuing scourge of 
anti-,semitism at home and abroad1      
including through work with             
international partners1 such as--  7,a7 
the ,organization for ,security and     
,co-operation in ,europe 7referred to in
 this resolving clause as the ,,osce72  
7,b7 the ,tolerance and                 
,non-,discrimination ,unit of the       

,,osce2 and  7,c7 the ,personal         
,representative on ,combating           
,anti-,semitism of the ,,osce4
