The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 27, 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 victims of the Holocaust and coincides with the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. As 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the resolution calls for remembrance ceremonies and educational efforts to combat antisemitism and all forms of hate. It stresses the need to educate future generations about the Holocaust, especially as the number of survivors decreases, ensuring that the lessons learned from this tragedy are not forgotten.
