The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 25, which proclaims April 24, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day and designates the period from April 27, 2025, to May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance in the state. This resolution acknowledges the tragic history of the Holocaust, during which six million Jews and millions of others were systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945. It emphasizes the importance of remembering this dark chapter in history to prevent its recurrence and to promote respect and understanding among all people.

The resolution also highlights the significance of Yom HaShoah, established by the Israeli parliament in 1951, which commemorates the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, making this observance particularly poignant. In light of recent acts of antisemitism and violence against the Jewish community, the resolution calls for collective action to combat hate and educate future generations about the Holocaust, ensuring that such suffering is never repeated.
