Summary — HR 10: Michigan House Resolution — “Holocaust Remembrance Day” (Jan. 27, 2025)

Status: Adopted (house resolution)
Introduced: January 23, 2025 (introduced by Rep. Gina Johnsen)
Primary action: Declares January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan

Purpose

The resolution formally recognizes January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in Michigan. Its intent is to honor victims, survivors, and liberators of the Holocaust; to remind citizens of the historic atrocity and its human cost; and to encourage reflection, education, and vigilance against hatred, bigotry, tyranny, and authoritarianism.

Key provisions

  • Declares January 27, 2025, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.
  • Affirms that the Holocaust—state-sponsored systematic persecution and mass murder by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945—resulted in the deaths of more than six million Jews and caused broader suffering of millions persecuted for religion, nationality, ethnicity, political beliefs, disability, appearance, and other characteristics.
  • Encourages the people of Michigan to reflect on the victims, survivors, and liberators and to “never forget” the events of the Holocaust.
  • Urges Michiganders to combat hatred through education and remembrance.

Who is affected

  • This is a ceremonial, non‑binding resolution. It places no legal or fiscal obligations on state agencies or local governments.
  • It primarily affects public awareness and civic practice: schools, museums, community organizations, faith groups, survivors, and the general public are the intended audiences for the call to reflection and education.
  • Jewish communities and other victim groups are specifically recognized symbolically by the resolution.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • The resolution was introduced in the Michigan House on January 23, 2025, and subsequently adopted by the House.
  • As a House resolution, it is a commemorative action (not a statute) and does not create new law, appropriations, or regulatory changes.
  • The declared observance date—January 27, 2025—coincides with widely observed Holocaust Remembrance events.

Practical impact

  • Primarily symbolic and educational: intended to promote remembrance, public ceremonies or events, classroom discussion, and community observances on and around January 27, 2025.
  • No direct fiscal impact or implementation requirements.
