WHEREAS, on this anniversary, the State of Georgia recommits itself to combating the global rise in antisemitism; and

WHEREAS, the people of Georgia recognize the importance of combating hate and bigotry in all forms, standing in solidarity against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of discrimination that seek to dehumanize and divide us; and

WHEREAS, the lessons of the Holocaust call upon us to be vigilant, to uphold human dignity, and to actively promote peace, understanding, and respect for all people, regardless of their background, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, or religion; and

WHEREAS, this day serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring importance of remembrance.
