BY: Commissioners Helaine Zack, Marcia Gershenson, Bill Bullard, Jr.
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the history of the Holocaust offers an opportunity to reflect upon the moral responsibilities of
individuals, societies and governments; and
WHEREAS the Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European
Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945; and
WHEREAS in addition to the murder of approximately 6 million Jews, millions more, including Poles,
Gypsies, Slavs, people with physical disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, prisoners of war,
dissenting clergy and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi
tyranny; and
WHEREAS a key date in the history of the Holocaust is April 19, 1943, the beginning of the Warsaw
ghetto uprising, when Jews resisted death camp deportation by the Nazis for 27 days; and
WHEREAS this date, which in the Hebrew calendar is the twenty-seventh day of Nisan, has been
established in 1980 by the United States Congress as the National Holocaust Remembrance Day, and
the week surrounding this date has been established as the Days of Remembrance; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 12, 2005
187
WHEREAS Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day that has been set aside for remembering the victims of
the Holocaust and for reminding Americans and the world of what can happen to civilized people when
bigotry, hatred, indifference and intolerance are allowed to fester and grow; and
WHEREAS we remember with sadness the millions of victims of the Holocaust. We remember with
admiration the resistors, known and unknown, who risked and lost their lives to save others. We
remember those who died for who they were, how they worshiped, what they believed and who they
loved; and
WHEREAS we remember and honor the survivors of the Holocaust who are living testaments - preserving
our shared history of anguish, courage and hope - to keep it vivid and real, so that racism, hatred,
persecution and prejudice can never again reign; and
WHEREAS as we remember the genocide and persecutions of far too many others - both preceding and
since the Holocaust - the lessons of the Holocaust must never be lost as we continue to dedicate
ourselves to preserving the spirit of freedom and justice for all.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby joins
with a worldwide chorus of hope and activism to say, "Never again" as we observe the Holocaust
Remembrance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners applauds the leadership
of the Honorable Edward Sosnick, his judicial colleagues, lawyers, public officials and other sponsoring
groups in presenting "Examining the Rule of Law: Lessons from the Holocaust for America Today".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages individuals,
educational institutions, and social, community, religious, labor and business organizations to remember
what can happen when bigotry, indifference and hatred are tolerated in a civilized society. When we
remember and memorialize the past, we can actively uphold the principles of individual freedom as we
face the challenges of tomorrow.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
