A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution commemorates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp and recognizes International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It remembers the 6,000,000 Jews and millions of other individuals systematically murdered by the Nazi regime during World War II. The text notes that Auschwitz was the largest death camp complex and was liberated by Allied Forces on January 27, 1945. It highlights the rising number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States and globally in recent years. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to honor Holocaust survivors, remember the victims, work toward tolerance and peace, and recommit to combating anti-Semitism.
