Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 25 authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall, located in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, for a ceremony on April 20, 2023, to honor the victims of the Holocaust. This event is part of the annual "Days of Remembrance," a period established by Congress to memorialize the six million Jews and millions of others murdered by the Nazi regime.
