The resolution recognizes the Alabama Yom HaShoah Commemoration, scheduled for April 18, 2023, organized by the Alabama Holocaust Commission at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Yom HaShoah, established by Israel in 1951, serves as a day of remembrance for the six million Jews who lost their lives during the Holocaust, a significant event marked by various commemorative activities such as synagogue services, communal vigils, and educational programs. This year's ceremony will feature speakers from the government and the Alabama Jewish community, as well as stories from Holocaust survivors and liberators, while also honoring those survivors who have passed away in the last year.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of events like the Yom HaShoah Commemoration in promoting public awareness of the Holocaust's consequences and the significance of understanding hate and intolerance. It highlights the mission of the Alabama Holocaust Commission, established in 1999, to foster education about the Holocaust and ensure that the lessons learned from this dark chapter in history are shared with future generations. By commemorating the lives lost and honoring survivors, the resolution aims to instill a sense of understanding and promote a commitment to combating hate and intolerance in society.
