WHEREAS, the Michigan State Legislature introduced Senate Bill 315 to establish

Nisan, was established in 1980, by the United States Congress as the National Holocaust
Remembrance Day, in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, and in honor of the

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of

Holocaust Remembrance Week in the State of Michigan; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
joins in encouraging individuals, educational institutions, and social, community, religious,

individual freedom in a just society; and

to the Governor, the Michigan State Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties and
