The Senate Resolution recognizes April 23-24, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day, emphasizing the importance of remembering the Holocaust, during which six million Jews were systematically persecuted and exterminated by Nazi Germany and its collaborators from 1933 to 1945. The resolution highlights the devastating impact of the Holocaust on Jewish communities across Europe, with countries like Poland losing 90% of their Jewish population. It also acknowledges the suffering of millions of others targeted by the Nazis based on religion, ethnicity, political beliefs, and other identities, underscoring the need to confront ongoing antisemitism and hatred in society today.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the citizens of Michigan to reflect on the lessons of the Holocaust and to actively work against hatred and intolerance. It notes that Michigan's educational curriculum mandates instruction on genocide, ensuring that future generations learn about these historical atrocities to prevent their recurrence. By designating Holocaust Remembrance Day, the resolution aims to honor the victims, survivors, and liberators of the Holocaust while promoting a commitment to remembrance and education as tools for combating bigotry.
