the Jewish citizens of Germany and Austria; 
Whereas during Kristallnacht, hundreds of synagogues in Germany 
and Austria were burned and destroyed, businesses and homes 
were ransacked, scores of innocent people were killed because 
they were Jews, and thousands of such people were arrested and 
sent to concentration camps; 
Whereas the lack of any response from civilized nations led the 
governments of Germany and Austria to believe that further 
atrocities would go unpunished; 
Wheresis this belief brought about mass murders and carnage on a 
scale never before seen in human history; 
Whereas Kristallnacht was a watershed event in Nazi rule and 
served as a prelude to the Second World War and the death of 
millions of innocent people; 
Whereeis the reign of the Nazi government marks one of the darkest 
periods in civilized history; and 
Whereas Kristallnacht should remind us all that evil must be 
confronted forcefully and the civilized world cannot watch idly 
while barbarism and mass murder are committed against in-
nocent peoples: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That November 4
