Today, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) released the following statement in recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day:

"As the world pauses to observe the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we remember the millions of Jewish people and others who lost their lives and honor those who survived the horrific atrocities of the holocaust.

"At a time when anti-Semitic violence is impacting communities across New York, it is imperative we come together and stand united against hate in all its forms. We must also teach our next generation the history of the Holocaust, and give them the tools to call out prejudice and combat discrimination wherever and whenever they see it."

This evening, the House will vote on the bipartisan Never Again Education Act, which will authorize $10 million of federal funding for educational programming about the Holocaust and preventing anti-Semitism and bigotry. Rep. Maloney is a cosponsor of the bill.
