RESOLUTION 
Condemning Tucker Carlson’s decision to give a platform 
to Holocaust revisionist views for which perpetuating 
harmful falsehoods, fostering antisemitism, and under-
mining the fight against hate and bigotry. 
Whereas, on September 2, 2024, Tucker Carlson hosted a 
Holocaust revisionist, Darryl Cooper, on his show ‘‘Tuck-
er on X’’, during which false claims about the Holocaust 
and World War II were propagated; 
Whereas, over the course of the past decade, Holocaust revi-
sionism has grown in intensity; 
Whereas Darryl Cooper falsely claimed that the millions who 
perished in Nazi concentration camps did so because of

humanitarian efforts and a lack of resources, rather than 
the deliberate starvation and intentional genocide meticu-
lously orchestrated by the Nazi regime; 
Whereas Darryl Cooper, in his words, presented the hyper-
bolic assessment that Hitler launched a war in the Soviet 
East in 1941 and was completely unprepared to deal with 
the millions of prisoners-of-war, throwing millions into 
camps, and resulted in the deaths of millions; 
Whereas Darryl Cooper points to letters in July 1941 from 
‘‘commandants in these makeshift camps’’ warning the 
Nazi German High Command that ‘‘[Nazi Germany] 
can’t feed these people’’ and instead, he claims one Nazi 
commander suggested it be ‘‘more humane to just finish 
them off quickly now?’’; 
Whereas Holocaust revisionism is a dangerous and morally 
reprehensible distortion of historical truth, disrespecting 
the memory of over 6,000,000 Jewish victims and the 
countless others murdered by the Nazis during the Holo-
caust; 
Whereas Mr. Cooper inaccurately refers to Operation Bar-
barossa as an operation undertaken by Nazi Germany 
without a plan, which in reality resulted in the largest 
and costliest land offensive in human history, resulting in 
an estimated 10,000,000 combatants and over 8,000,000 
casualties; 
Whereas the actual, intentional, deliberate mass starvation 
that resulted was part of the Hunger Plan of the 
Generalplan Ost orchestrated by Nazi bureaucrats, such 
as Herbert Backe and Heinrich Himmler, was approved 
during the Staatssekreta¨re of May 2, 1941;

•HRES 1543 IH 
Whereas the Nuremburg trials unsealed the economic plan 
known as Go¨ring’s Green Folder, which included the 
Hunger Plan, outlined a deliberate starvation of over 
31,000,000 to nearly 45,000,000 individuals in the Soviet 
Union, as early December 1940, contrary to Mr. Cooper’s 
interpretation; 
Whereas the Hunger Plan outlined a goal of genocidal exter-
mination and enslavement of Slavic and Eastern Euro-
pean Jewish populations; 
Whereas Nazi Germany was not self-sufficient and relied on 
foreign imports, had depleted reserve grain stocks; 
Whereas Hitler credited the Allied blockade of Germany dur-
ing World War I to Germany’s defeat, and prioritized es-
sential preservation of food supplies at the cost of human 
lives; 
Whereas the deliberate starvation campaign resulted in an es-
timated 4,200,000 starved between 1941–1944, with the 
highest rates of starvation among Jewish populations; 
Whereas the Nazi Army Group Center created as part of Op-
eration Barbarossa, enforced a prohibition on Jews to 
purchase eggs, butter, milk, meat, and fruit; 
Whereas additionally, caloric intake for Jews was limited to 
420 calories a day; 
Whereas over 2,000,000 deaths were reported by February 
1942 as a result of the deliberate policy of starvation; 
Whereas comparatively, French, Belgian, and Dutch pris-
oners-of-war who died as a result of starvation was ex-
tremely low due to Nazi Germany implementing an em-
bargo on the Dutch, over 22,000 died in the Dutch Fam-
ine of 1944–1945;

Whereas Nazi Germany’s deliberate starvation plans led to 
seizing Ukrainian granaries and resulted in over 
1,000,000 deaths in the Siege of Leningrad and an esti-
mated 80,000 deaths in Kharkov and Kyiv; 
Whereas nearly 300,000 deaths resulted from the Great 
Famine in Greece, and over 600,000 deaths in Poland 
largely impacting Jews in ghettos and ethnic Poles; 
Whereas Tucker Carlson’s platforming of these harmful views 
represents an endorsement of Holocaust denial, which 
emboldens antisemitism and undermines efforts to com-
bat hate and misinformation; 
Whereas Tucker Carlson’s failure to critically challenge or de-
nounce these falsehoods on his platform contributes to 
the spread of Nazi propaganda and historical revisionism, 
posing a direct threat to historical truth and the dignity 
of Holocaust survivors; 
Whereas Holocaust revisionism and distortion, including in-
tentional efforts to excuse or minimize the impact of the 
Holocaust, dishonors those who were persecuted and 
murdered and reinforces the need for advancing accurate 
Holocaust education globally; 
Whereas antisemitism is on the rise globally, where there has 
been an increase of over 140 percent in 2023, according 
to the Anti-Defamation League; 
Whereas trafficking in Holocaust revisionism further fuels 
the dangerous spread of hate and discrimination; and 
Whereas protecting the history of the Holocaust and recog-
nizing and confronting Holocaust denial and distortion is 
critical to preventing antisemitism: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
