I do not know how many of my colleagues have had the opportunity to see the movie, ``Schindler's List'', but I commend it to everybody. The horror of the Holocaust, of course, fades in most people's minds as we move in history. But it cannot fade in the mind of a Mr. Princz, it cannot fade in the minds of hundreds of thousands whose parents survived the Holocaust and of millions like myself who had relatives perish in the Holocaust. It cannot fade in our minds. For the German Government not to listen to the deserved cries from Mr. Princz is an affront. It is not just an affront to the Princz family and to Mr. Princz himself, it is an affront to the memory of all of those who perished and suffered in the Holocaust, Jew and non-Jew alike. Nothing is ever going to erase the brutality and the horror that happened there. But at least it is a little bit mollifying to know that the rest of the world and the German nation in particular understands that horror and is willing to make some small recompense for it. So this resolution is an important resolution.
