A resolution commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This Senate resolution (SRES 40) commemorates January 27, 2025 - the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Allied Forces - and designates it as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It calls on all U.S. citizens to remember the 1.1 million victims murdered at Auschwitz during the Holocaust, honor Holocaust survivors, and commit to combating antisemitism and promoting tolerance. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect any group but formally recognizes historical events and urges continued education about the Holocaust's lessons.
