88(4) SR 34 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 34
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the Holocaust Remembrance Association in honor of the
	opening of the Holocaust Garden of Hope in Kingwood on
	November  5,  2023; and
	WHEREAS, The Holocaust Remembrance Association is a
	nonprofit educational organization based in Kingwood that was
	formed on January 27, 2019, by Jewish descendants of Holocaust
	survivors and their Christian allies; the association seeks to
	sensitize hearts to the history of the Holocaust and to encourage
	people to stand against the evils of antisemitism, persecution,
	prejudice, and indifference to suffering; and
	WHEREAS, In the early 20th century, the Jewish people
	endured a horrific genocide at the hands of the Nazis, led by Adolf
	Hitler under the Third Reich; the history of antisemitism on the
	European continent created an atmosphere of intolerance and a
	disregard for ethnic violence targeting the Jewish people, and the
	unwillingness of the international community to condemn the Nazi
	regime allowed for the escalation of the Nazis' influence and
	control in perpetuating the extermination of Jewish life; and
	WHEREAS, The Holocaust Remembrance Association exists to
	renew the historical memory of this tragic event and the lives it
	claimed and to promote education, healing, reconciliation, and
	understanding between the Jewish people and other communities; and
	WHEREAS, The Holocaust Garden of Hope pays tribute to the
	lives of those affected by the Holocaust and seeks to highlight the
	stories of victims, survivors, rescuers, and repentant descendants
	of Nazi perpetrators; these accounts of resilience, hope, and
	bravery are sure to evoke in visitors a profound admiration for the
	Jewish people and their history and to inspire future generations
	to defend their existence and to value Jewish life; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
	Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend the Holocaust
	Remembrance Association on its invaluable contributions to the
	betterment of our society and extend to all who have contributed
	to the Holocaust Garden of Hope best wishes for a day of
	reflection and healing; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this special occasion.
	Creighton
