A resolution commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

S.Res. 40 is a non-binding resolution that would commemorate January 27, 2025, as the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp and as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The resolution expresses the Senate's commitment to remembering this significant historical event and the atrocities of the Holocaust.

The resolution calls on the people of the United States to continue working to end all genocide and persecution, and recommits the Senate to combating all forms of anti-Semitism. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a formal statement of congressional recognition and values regarding Holocaust remembrance and the ongoing fight against genocide and discrimination.
