The resolution recognizes the Alabama Yom HaShoah Commemoration scheduled for April 14, 2026, organized by the Alabama Holocaust Commission at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Yom HaShoah, established by the State of Israel in 1951, serves as a global day of remembrance for the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The commemoration will include various solemn activities such as synagogue services, communal vigils, educational programs, and the lighting of memorial candles, all aimed at honoring the memory of those lost and reflecting on the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of such commemorative events in ensuring that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten. It pays tribute to the survivors who have passed away in the last year, including notable figures like Jack Schachter, whose testimonies serve as poignant reminders of the suffering endured during this dark period in history. The resolution calls for continued remembrance and education to prevent the repetition of such evil in the future.
