The resolution commemorates January 27, 2025, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. This day serves as a solemn occasion to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the countless others who suffered under the Nazi regime. The United Nations General Assembly established this observance in 2005, and the theme for 2025 is "Holocaust Remembrance and Education for Dignity and Human Rights."

The resolution also highlights the ongoing threats of antisemitism and violence against Jewish communities, citing a significant number of antisemitic incidents reported in the U.S. and a global survey indicating widespread antisemitic attitudes. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the Holocaust to combat prejudice and hatred, reinforcing a collective commitment to humanity. Through this observance, the Texas House of Representatives aims to promote awareness and education about the Holocaust and its implications for society today.
