“Mr. Speaker, what we are talking about today, if you go back in history, people did not believe that stories coming out of the death camps, stories that were just almost too unspeakable to even think of and, therefore, people in Europe chose to ignore them. Mr. Speaker, let us today, as we remember the Holocaust and we celebrate the Holocaust Museum and the work that it is doing, let us never forget those stories that came out of those death camps. Let us never forget the faces of the men and women and children that were tortured and brutally murdered, many in those death camps. Let us not let people rewrite history, because if we allow them to rewrite history, history will indeed repeat itself. I rise in strong support of this measure, as it is important that we never forget or attempt to diminish the historical significance of one of the most heinous chapters in history--the Holocaust. There are some who seek to revise history, to alter it in such a way as to deny the Holocaust.”
