| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Holocaust Remembrance Association in honor of the | ||
| opening of the Holocaust Garden of Hope in Kingwood on | ||
| November 5, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Holocaust Remembrance Association is a | ||
| nonprofit educational organization based in Kingwood that was | ||
| formed on January 27, 2019, by Jewish descendants of Holocaust | ||
| survivors and their Christian allies; the association seeks to | ||
| sensitize hearts to the history of the Holocaust and to encourage | ||
| people to stand against the evils of antisemitism, persecution, | ||
| prejudice, and indifference to suffering; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the early 20th century, the Jewish people | ||
| endured a horrific genocide at the hands of the Nazis, led by Adolf | ||
| Hitler under the Third Reich; the history of antisemitism on the | ||
| European continent created an atmosphere of intolerance and a | ||
| disregard for ethnic violence targeting the Jewish people, and the | ||
| unwillingness of the international community to condemn the Nazi | ||
| regime allowed for the escalation of the Nazis' influence and | ||
| control in perpetuating the extermination of Jewish life; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Holocaust Remembrance Association exists to | ||
| renew the historical memory of this tragic event and the lives it | ||
| claimed and to promote education, healing, reconciliation, and | ||
| understanding between the Jewish people and other communities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Holocaust Garden of Hope pays tribute to the | ||
| lives of those affected by the Holocaust and seeks to highlight the | ||
| stories of victims, survivors, rescuers, and repentant descendants | ||
| of Nazi perpetrators; these accounts of resilience, hope, and | ||
| bravery are sure to evoke in visitors a profound admiration for the | ||
| Jewish people and their history and to inspire future generations | ||
| to defend their existence and to value Jewish life; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend the Holocaust | ||
| Remembrance Association on its invaluable contributions to the | ||
| betterment of our society and extend to all who have contributed | ||
| to the Holocaust Garden of Hope best wishes for a day of | ||
| reflection and healing; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
