 Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz 
                     extermination camp in Poland.

Whereas on January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland was 
        liberated by Allied Forces during World War II after almost 5 years of 
        murder, rape, and torture;
Whereas more than 1,000,000 innocent civilians were murdered at the Auschwitz 
        extermination camp;
Whereas the Auschwitz extermination camp symbolizes the brutality of the 
        Holocaust;
Whereas Americans must never forget the terrible crimes against humanity 
        committed at the Auschwitz extermination camp and must educate future 
        generations to promote understanding of the dangers of intolerance in 
        order to prevent similar injustices from happening again; and
Whereas commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp will 
        instill in all Americans a greater awareness of the Holocaust: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates January 27, 2005, as the 60th anniversary 
        of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp by Allied 
        Forces during World War II; and
            (2) calls on all Americans to remember the more than 
        1,000,000 innocent victims murdered at the Auschwitz 
        extermination camp as part of the Holocaust.
                                 <all>
