The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature designates April 24, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day and the period from April 27, 2025, to May 4, 2025, as Holocaust Days of Remembrance. It 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 from 1933 to 1945. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering this dark chapter in history to prevent its recurrence and to promote respect and understanding among all people.

Additionally, the resolution highlights the significance of Yom HaShoah, established by the Israeli parliament in 1951, which commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. It notes that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and calls for remembrance ceremonies to be held in Wisconsin and beyond. The resolution also addresses the need to combat antisemitism and educate future generations about the Holocaust, especially as the number of survivors decreases, ensuring that the lessons learned from this tragedy are not forgotten.
