On the recordJune 9, 1998
Well, I really join the gentlemen with their concern on the Patient Bill of Rights, and I am a strong supporter of it, but I really rise with these few seconds today to remember the more than 6 million men, women and children who perished during the Holocaust. On Thursday, April 23, we remembered the victims of the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's 1998 Days of Remembrance. This year's theme, Children of the Holocaust, their memories, a legacy, paid tribute to the more than 1.5 million children who lost their childhoods, their friends and their families throughout one of the darkest periods in our history. It is particularly fitting that this year's theme centers on children because of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's exhibit, the Story of Daniel. The museum has collected the stories of numerous children through their diaries and poetry written throughout World War II and compiled them into one story of a young boy, Daniel. This exhibit was designed to teach our children what the children in World War II experienced. It tells and retells the stories of those children so we may never forget their stories of the Holocaust.
