H.R. No. 915
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany carried out the
  systematic persecution and annihilation of six million European
  Jews, as well as millions of other people, and this mass slaughter,
  known as the Holocaust, will forever signify the potential for
  unchecked intolerance, racism, and cruelty to achieve devastating
  results; and
         WHEREAS, Although it is a painful and wrenching experience to
  reflect on the tragic events that occurred during these dark years,
  it is only through remembrance that we can rightfully acknowledge
  and honor the men, women, and children whose lives were brutally cut
  short; Jews became the primary victims of the state-sponsored
  genocide, while Roma, Poles, the handicapped, homosexuals,
  Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political
  dissidents were also persecuted; ultimately, all of these groups
  were decimated under the tyranny of the Third Reich; and
         WHEREAS, This horrific and shameful history is a powerful
  reminder of our responsibilities as citizens of a democracy to
  remain vigilant against hatred, bigotry, and violence and to defend
  the causes of individual freedom, national liberty, and equality
  and respect for every human being; moreover, we must reject the
  false claims of those who deny the Holocaust; and
         WHEREAS, Each year, the United States Holocaust Memorial
  Council designates an eight-day period as the Days of Remembrance,
  and this year's commemoration extends from Sunday, April 15, 2007,
  through Sunday, April 22, 2007; and
         WHEREAS, The events of the Holocaust are inextricably linked
  to the obligation of people everywhere to uphold the cause of human
  rights, and as we, the people of Texas, recall this disturbing time
  in history, may we also be mindful of our duty to stand firm against
  all forms of injustice; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 15-22, 2007, as the Days of
  Remembrance, and encourage all Texans to do their part to keep the
  stories of Holocaust victims and survivors alive.
