A RESOLUTION
Recognizing January 27, 2019, as "International Holocaust
Remembrance Day" in Pennsylvania.
WHEREAS, The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic
persecution and murder of an estimated 17 million people by the
German Nazi regime, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler,
between 1933 and 1945; and
WHEREAS, Upon the rise of the Nazi regime in 1933, the party
gave political expression to theories of racism against the
Jewish population and gained popularity by disseminating anti-
Jewish propaganda and ordering anti-Jewish economic boycotts,
staging book burnings and enacting discriminatory anti-Jewish
legislation such as the Nuremberg Laws which, in 1935, provided
the legal framework for the systemic persecution of the Jewish
people; and
