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 who have passed away in the last year.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of such commemorative events in fostering public awareness about the Holocaust and its implications, reinforcing the mission of the Alabama Holocaust Commission, which was created to promote education and understanding of this historical atrocity. It calls for a collective effort to learn from the past and combat hate and intolerance, ultimately aiming to achieve a greater sense of grace and mercy in society. The resolution was passed by both houses of the Alabama Legislature, affirming the state's commitment to Holocaust education and remembrance.
