Recognizing January 27, 2026, As International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The bill DE HCR90 recognizes January 27, 2026, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Delaware. This day is intended to honor the memory of the millions of victims who suffered during the Holocaust. By establishing this recognition, the bill aims to promote awareness and education about the Holocaust and its impacts.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its importance in fostering education and remembrance of the Holocaust, ensuring that the lessons of history are not forgotten. They would argue that recognizing this day is a vital step in combating anti-Semitism and promoting tolerance and understanding in society.

Critics might argue that designating a specific day for remembrance could be seen as performative rather than a genuine commitment to addressing current issues related to anti-Semitism. They may also contend that this recognition should not overshadow ongoing efforts needed to combat hate and discrimination in the present day.
