Mr. KING introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to the

JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating April 18, 1993, as ‘‘Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Remembrance Day’’.
Whereas, half a century ago, 6,000,000 Jews were herded
into ghettos and concentration camps, starved, gassed,
and their corpses burned, while the nations of the world
remained silent;
Whereas, in April 1943, the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto or-
ganized the first civilian resistance in Nazi Europe and
rose up against their oppressors;
Whereas courageous Jewish men, women, boys, and girls, fac-
ing certain death, repelled wave after wave of trained
Nazi soldiers, while the walls crumbled, food, water, and
•HJ 151 IH
ammunition ran out, and flames turned the ghetto into
an inferno;
Whereas, in the end, the ghetto was reduced to nothing but
smoke and rubble, yet the courage of the Jewish freedom
fighters endures;
Whereas the courage of the Jews who fought the Nazis 50
years ago still echoes down through the years and de-
mands that all who lived through the horrors of the Holo-
caust, and all generations to come, remember, record,
and teach its lessons; and
Whereas the people of the United States should rededicate
themselves to the conviction that the world will never
know another Holocaust: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That April 18, 1993, is designated as ‘‘Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising Remembrance Day’’, and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on
the people of the United States to observe the day with
