,remembrance ,day4  ,whereas ,united    
,nations ,general ,assembly ,resolution 
#fj_/g 7#bjje7 designated ,january #bg  
of each year as an ,international ,day  
of ,commemoration in memory of victims  
of the ,holocaust2 ,whereas1 during     
,world ,war ,,ii1 the ,nazi regime and  
its collaborators systematically        
murdered #f1jjj1jjj ,jews and millions  
of other individuals2 ,whereas the      
,auschwitz extermination camp complex in
 ,nazi-occupied ,poland1 which included 
a killing center at ,birkenau1 was the  

largest death camp complex established  
by the ,nazi regime2 ,whereas1 on       
,january #bg1 #aide1 the ,auschwitz     
extermination camp was liberated by     
,allied ,forces1 after almost #e years  
of murder1 rape1 and torture at the     
camp2 ,whereas nearly #a1cjj1jjj        
innocent civilians were deported to     
,auschwitz from their homes across      
,eastern and ,western ,europe1          
particularly from ,hungary1 ,poland1 and
 ,france2 ,whereas nearly #a1ajj1jjj    
innocent civilians were murdered at the 
,auschwitz extermination camp between   
#aidj and #aide2 ,whereas at least      
#ifj1jjj of the nearly #a1ajj1jjj       
murdered people were ,jewish2 ,whereas  
the more than #ajj1jjj other victims who
 perished at ,auschwitz included        
non-,jewish ,poles1 ,romani people1     
,soviet civilians and prisoners of war1 
,afro-,germans1 ,jehovah's ,witnesses1  
people with disabilities1 gay men and   
women1 and other ethnic minorities2     
,whereas these innocent civilians were  

subjected to torture1 forced labor1     
starvation1 rape1 medical experiments1  
and separation from loved ones2 ,whereas
 the names of many of these innocent    
individuals who perished have been lost 
forever2 ,whereas the ,auschwitz        
extermination camp symbolizes the       
extraordinary brutality of the          
,holocaust2 ,whereas the ,united ,states
 ,holocaust ,memorial ,museum serves as 
our ,nation's memorial to the victims of
 the ,holocaust and teaches the history 
and lessons of the ,holocaust to        
individuals from all walks of life in   
the ,united ,states2 ,whereas the people
 of the ,united ,states must never      
forget the genocide and terrible crimes 
against humanity committed at the       
,auschwitz extermination camp2 ,whereas 
the people of the ,united ,states must  
educate future generations to promote   
understanding of the dangers of         
intolerance in order to prevent similar 
injustices1 including acts of violent   
antisemitism1 from happening again2     

,whereas there are only approximately   
#bbj1jjj ,holocaust survivors who are   
still living and it is more important   
now than ever to share their collective 
histories and stories2 ,whereas1 in     
recent years1 there has been an increase
 in the number and intensity of         
antisemitic incidents in the ,united    
,states and around the world2 ,whereas1 
since the ,october #g1 #bjbc1 ,hamas    
terrorist attack in ,israel1 there have 
been more than #aj1jjj antisemitic      
incidents in the ,united ,states2       
,whereas hate crime statistics collected
 by the ,federal ,bureau of             
,investigation demonstrate a #fc percent
 increase in antisemitic incidents in   
the ,united ,states from #bjbb to #bjbc2
 ,whereas1 in #bjah1 the ,united ,states
 experienced the single deadliest attack
 against the ,jewish community in the   
history of the ,united ,states with the 
murder of #aa individuals at the ,tree  
of ,life synagogue in ,pittsburgh1      
,pennsylvania2 and ,whereas1 especially 

in a period of rising antisemitism1     
commemoration of the liberation of the  
,auschwitz extermination camp will      
instill in all people of the ,united    
,states a greater awareness of the      
,holocaust and knowledge of the horrors 
brought upon by the systematic murder of
 #f1jjj1jjj ,jews and millions of other 
innocent individuals by the ,nazi       
regime3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the

the liberation of the ,auschwitz        
extermination camp by ,allied ,forces
