A RESOLUTION
Designating the week of April 8 through 15, 2018, as "Days of
Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust" in Pennsylvania.

the Nazi Holocaust as part of a systematic pogrom of genocide,
and millions of other people perished as victims of Nazism; and
WHEREAS, The people of this Commonwealth should always
remember the atrocities committed by the Nazis so that such
horrors are never repeated and continually rededicate themselves
to the principle of equal justice for all people; and
WHEREAS, The people of this Commonwealth should remain
eternally vigilant against all tyranny and recognize that
bigotry provides a breeding ground for tyranny to flourish; and
WHEREAS, April 12, also recognized as 27 Nisan 5778 in the
Hebrew calendar, has been designated internationally as a Day of
Remembrance of Victims of the Nazi Holocaust, known as Yom
Hashoah; and
