The Alabama Holocaust Commission is set to host the 2024 State Yom HaShoah Commemoration on May 2, 2024, at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Yom HaShoah, established by Israel in 1951, is a day dedicated to remembering the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The commemoration may include various activities such as synagogue services, vigils, educational programs, lighting of memorial candles, and reciting prayers for those who perished.

The resolution acknowledges the importance of remembering the Holocaust and the stories of its survivors, who have recently passed away, as well as those who are still alive. It quotes American screenwriter Rod Serling on the necessity of remembering the atrocities to prevent history from repeating itself. The Alabama House of Representatives resolves to recognize and honor the memory of the Holocaust victims and survivors during the Yom HaShoah Commemoration and emphasizes the importance of such events in ensuring that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten.
