On the recordJanuary 30, 2020
Madam Speaker, this week we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and honor Holocaust survivors and those who lost their lives during this terrible period of history. Horrible atrocities were visited upon millions of innocent souls, driven by fear, hatred and oppression. Seventy-five years later, as anti-Semitism, racism, and other forms of bigotry continue to plague our society, we are reminded that we cannot be silent in the face of intolerance or discrimination. Earlier this week, I was proud to support the Never Again Education Act, which will help educate the next generation about the genocide that occurred during the Holocaust and the dangers of allowing hatred to go unchallenged. As we reflect on this moment in history, let us set an example by condemning senseless acts of aggression and intolerance and, instead, encouraging equality and inclusion and honoring our enduring pledge: ``Never Again.'' ____________________
