The House Resolution introduced by a group of representatives recognizes January 27, 2025, as "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" in Pennsylvania. This day commemorates the Holocaust, during which the Nazi regime systematically persecuted and murdered approximately 17 million people, including 6 million Jews, between 1933 and 1945. The resolution highlights the rise of the Nazi party, the implementation of discriminatory laws, and the broader targeting of various marginalized groups, emphasizing the importance of remembering this tragic event in history.

The resolution also notes that January 27 marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by Soviet soldiers in 1945, serving as a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Established by the United Nations in 2005, this day is dedicated to honoring the victims, reaffirming a commitment to human rights, and educating future generations to prevent such acts of genocide. Additionally, the resolution calls for the condemnation of religious intolerance and violence against individuals based on their ethnic or religious backgrounds.
