WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), James Lankford (R-OK), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Ben Cardin (D-MD) announced the introduction of S. Res. 481, a bipartisan resolution commemorating the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Allied Forces during World War II. The anniversary will take place on January 27th, designated by the United Nations as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Reps. Ted Deutch (D-FL), Grace Meng (D-NY), and Lee Zeldin (R-NY) are planning to introduce bipartisan companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives next week.
“‘Never again’ should be more than just words,” said Senator Cramer. “Seventy-five years ago, good defeated evil, and commemorating that anniversary reminds us of what it costs when we refuse to combat the rising tide of anti-Semitism.”
