1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, For many decades, the rabbis and synagogues of the | ||||||
3 | southern suburbs of Chicago and northwest Indiana have jointly | ||||||
4 | sponsored a community-wide Holocaust memorial service that is | ||||||
5 | open and free to all peoples of all faiths; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, This year, the theme of the memorial service will | ||||||
7 | be "Forbidden Music... We Still Remember"; the service will | ||||||
8 | feature music composed by three composers interred in | ||||||
9 | concentration camps, Hans Krasa, Vicktor Ullmann, and Gideon | ||||||
10 | Klein, who had written extensively before the Holocaust and who | ||||||
11 | continued to compose under dire circumstances until they were | ||||||
12 | sent to their deaths; their music, noted for its great beauty, | ||||||
13 | was embraced by the inmates of Theresienstadt for life and hope | ||||||
14 | and kept alive in their memories of normal life before the | ||||||
15 | Holocaust; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, The music will be performed by Linda Veleckis | ||||||
17 | Nussbaum, a principal and executive director of the Illinois | ||||||
18 | Philharmonic Orchestra, who will be accompanied by Hal | ||||||
19 | Grossman, Nina Saito, Heather Carlasare, and Emily Mantel; and
| ||||||
20 | WHEREAS, We must all do our part to ensure that the | ||||||
21 | Holocaust and its many victims will not be forgotten or | ||||||
22 | trivialized; it is fitting that we show our unwavering support |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for those who wish to keep the memory of those victims alive; | ||||||
2 | therefore, be it
| ||||||
3 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
4 | NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
5 | we show our support for Temple Anshe Sholom and Rabbi Paul | ||||||
6 | Caplan as they host this year's Holocaust memorial service; and | ||||||
7 | be it further
| ||||||
8 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
9 | presented to Temple Anshe Sholom as a symbol of our esteem and | ||||||
10 | respect.
