The resolution recognizes the Alabama Yom HaShoah Commemoration, scheduled for May 7, 2024, 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 Jewish victims of the Holocaust, the most significant act of hatred and intolerance in modern history. The commemoration will include various observances such as synagogue services, communal vigils, and educational programs, with a focus on honoring both the deceased and the survivors who have shared their harrowing experiences.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of such commemorative events in ensuring that the memories of the Holocaust and its victims are preserved. It acknowledges the profound impact of Holocaust survivors who have passed away in the last year, highlighting their contributions to raising awareness about the atrocities they endured. The resolution concludes with a call to action, urging Alabamians and people worldwide to remember the Holocaust's significance and horror, reinforcing the necessity of remembrance to prevent history from repeating itself.
