HI YOU KNOW I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY WHEN I WAS A COLLEGE
STUDENT. TWENTY YEARS AGO.
TO WALKED THE HALLOWED AND GO
STILL GROUNDS ABOUT SHADES.
AND IT WAS ONE MOST POWERFUL
DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I WAS TWENTY
YEARS AGO.
THIS YEAR [inaudible]
AND IT'S HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE
THAT THE SAME DARK FIRE THAT LED.
THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND AND MANY
OTHER.
MINORITY FOLKS TO THE GAS
CHAMBERS AT THE END OF THOSE
TRAIN TRACKS WOULD CONTINUE TO
FLICKER.
HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY
[inaudible]
TODAY.
IN OUR BEAUTIFUL CITIES LIKE
CHARLOTTESVILLE [inaudible]
PITTSBURGH.
AND NOW POWER WAY.
IN OUR OWN STATE.
IT'S THE SECOND SYNAGOGUE
SHOOTING IN SIX MONTHS.
REMINDS US THAT WE HAVE NOT YET
FULLY LEARN THE LESSONS OF THE
HOLOCAUST.
JUST YESTERDAY MEMBERS OF OUR
CAUCUS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE WERE ABLE TO MEET
WITH SURVIVORS AT THE LOS
ANGELES MUSEUM OF THE HOLOCAUST
IN A ELECTION.
WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT?
THEIR EXPERIENCES WE HEARD
HORRIFIC STORIES. ONE THAT IS
STRUCK ME.
SO MUCH MORE NOW THAT I HAVE A
CHILD THAT.
WHEN THE STORY THAT WAS REPEATED
TO US WAS OF A MOTHER?
WHO WAS LITERALLY BALANCE TO HER
TWO DAUGHTERS?
BY THE RIVER BANK.
AND SHOT BECAUSE THE ****
SOLDIERS IN ONE AND WASTE. THREE
BULLETS.
THIS PARTICULAR SURVIVOR WAS ONE
OF THE LITTLE GIRLS WHO HAPPEN
TO MIRACULOUSLY SURVIVED.
AND WE WERE TOLD BY THE
SURVIVORS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE
HOLOCAUST WE'RE NOT TALK ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO WE'RE
TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
YESTERDAY.
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE SAME.
SPARK OF ANTI SEMITISM.
THAT LED TO THEIR DEATHS THAT
CONTINUES TODAY [inaudible]
SO [inaudible]
MEMBERS.
THE THE THE SAD THING IS THAT
WE'VE BEEN FAILING THESE
INCREDIBLE HEROES THESE THESE
SURVIVORS ACCIDENT OR SEMITISM
IN AMERICA HAVE INCREASED BY
OVER 60% SINCE.
TWENTY SIXTEEN ALONGSIDE A RISE
IN ACTS OF HOMOPHOBIA
TRANSPHOBIA SEXISM RACISM.
XENA PHOBIA AND ISLAMOPHOBIA.
THESE BIASES ARE SYSTEMIC.
I WAS NOT LOST ON ME THAT THE
GREAT INSPIRATION OF THIS.
TROUBLED YOUNG MAN WHO SHOT UP
THE SYNAGOGUE IN POWAY.
WAS THE SHOOTER IN CHRISTCHURCH
[inaudible]
WHO SHOT?
AT IT IS IN MUSLIMS.
IN THEIR MáS IN THEIR HOUSES OF
WORSHIP.
THE SATURDAYS THEY WERE FEELING
OUR NEXT GENERATION A STUDY
CONDUCTED JUST LAST YEAR
REVEALED THAT TWO THIRDS OF
MILLENNIALS.
DON'T KNOW WHAT OUTFITS WAS.
ALMOST A QUARTER HAVEN'T EVEN
HEARD OF THE WHOLE COST.
THAT'S WHY COMMEMORATIONS LIKE
THIS.
AND LIKE THAT WHICH IS GOING ON
OVER IN THE ASSEMBLY SIDE RIGHT
NOW ARE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.
AFTER THE IMAGES CIRCULATED OF
THE ORANGE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS MARKING **** SALUTES
AND CELEBRATING AROUND CUTS
ARRANGES SWASTIKA.
THE LOS ANGELES MUSEUM OF THE
HOLOCAUST INVITED THOSE SEEM
STUDENTS TO THEIR MUSEUM.
AND FOLLOWING THEIR VISIT THE
STUDENTS WROTE HEARTFELT LETTERS.
EXPRESSING THEIR REMORSE IN
THEIR NEW FOUND UNDERSTANDING OF
THE DANGERS.
OF THEIR ACTIONS.
SO THERE ARE SOME REASONS FOR
OPTIMISM AND HOPE BEFORE ABLE TO
PUT.
THE TIME IN THE ENERGY IN THE
RESOURCES INTO THESE KINDS OF
THIS KIND OF WORK.
THE JEWISH CAUCUS REMAINS
COMMITTED TO LIFTING UP STORIES
THE HOLOCAUST YEAR AFTER YEAR TO
EDUCATE TO HONOR AND TO REMEMBER.
WE HONOR THOSE WHO LOST
EVERYTHING YET PERSISTED IN
REBUILDING.
WE HONOR THE RIGHTEOUS YOUR
WRIST EVERYTHING TO PROTECT
OTHERS.
WE HONOR THE LIBERATORS WHO LEFT
THEIR HOMES.
AND RISK THEIR LIVES TO ENTER A
WAR IN PURSUIT.
OF UNIVERSAL FREEDOM.
I WE REMEMBER WE REMEMBER THE
CONSEQUENCES OF SENSELESS HATRED.
THE JEWS AND OTHER MINORITY
COMMUNITIES.
ARE OFTEN TARGETS THE COMPASSION

THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENTE
SENATOR SAW ON BEHALF OF THE
ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS YEAR --
FORTY ONE AND TO ESTABLISH
CALIFORNIA HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
DAY AND WHY THANK MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM SANTA MONICA FOR HIS
ELOQUENT WORDS IT'S HARD TO
FOLLOW THEM -- YOU KNOW THE
DARKEST MOMENT OF THE PAST
CENTURY TWENTIETH CENTURY ADOLPH
HITLER LETTER GENOCIDE THAT
RESULT IN THE SENSE OF DEATH.
OF ONE MILLION PEOPLE.
IN THIS RESOLUTION ENSURES OUR
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THIS
UNFORTUNATE.
WELL THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT --
TRAGEDY IN OUR WORLD HISTORY.
AND WE NEED TO LEARN THIS
HISTORY SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE
THAT GENOCIDE LIKE THE HOLOCAUST
NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
WHAT WE SAY NEVER FORGET WE MUST
REMEMBER TO SURVIVORS OF THIS
HORRIFIC TRAGEDY ARE PASSING
AWAY?
AND SO WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT
OUR GENERATION AND THE
GENERATIONS THAT FOLLOW MUST
KEEP THE MEMORY ALIVE.
IS UNFORTUNATE THERE ARE SOME
WHO ARE OUT THERE WHO WOULD
DIMINISH THE SUFFERING OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE.
WHO WOULD DENY OR EVEN MOCK THE
HOLOCAUST AND FORTUNATE SEEN
THIS HAPPEN?
BUT THIS DAY IS ABOUT
RECOGNIZING THE STRENGTH AND
COURAGE NEEDED TO FIGHT
INJUSTICE.
JEWISH AMERICAN ORGANIZATIONS
PLAYED A CYNIC SIGNIFICANT ROLES
COALITION PARTNERS WITH JAPANESE
AMERICAN WORKSTATIONS AND
ADVOCATING REDRESS FOR JAPANESE
AMERICAN INTERNMENT.
THIS WEEK'S VIOLENCE SHOOTING AT
A SYNAGOGUE ON PO A IS A TRAGIC
AN URGENT REMINDER THAT WE MUST
NOT KEEP SILENT.
IN THE FACE OF BIGOTRY AND
HATRED.
WE MUST STAND UNITED ACROSS ALL
FAITHS AND BACKGROUNDS AND WORK
TOGETHER.
BY SPEAKING OUT FOR PEACE AND
FOR JUSTICE.
SO I TO URGE -- THAT WOULD COME
TOGETHER AND VOTE HI ON THIS
RESOLUTION SO WE CAN REFLECT
BOTH ON THE LIVES IN THE
MEMORIES.
OF PEOPLE LOST IN THE HOLOCAUST
AND AGAIN DEDICATE OURSELVES TO
SAY NEVER AGAIN THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SAID PAN SENATOR
JACKSON'S.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES I RISE.
AT THIS MOMENT ON BEHALF OF THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS THE
CAUCUS OF MOTHERS SISTERS
DAUGHTERS.
GRANDMOTHERS ARMA PRABHA. TO SIX
WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN.
SOME OF WHOM HAVE EXPERIENCED.
THE HATRED OF ANTI SEMITISM
UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM THAT IT
EXISTED EVEN AS YOUNGSTERS
HATRED AND BIGOTRY.
THAT MANY OF US I WOULD SUSPECT
MOST JEWS HAVE AT SOME TIME OR
ANOTHER IN THEIR LIVES
EXPERIENCED.
BEING CALLED THE KITE TAKEN OUT
OUR GARBAGE.
WHEN I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD?
BY THREE CHILDREN I HAD NEVER
MET BEFORE MY LIFE -- THIS IS A
PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO GO
AWAY.
WE HAVE HATRED AND BIGOTRY IN
OUR SOCIETY WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO
ARE SUCCUMB TO THE WORST OF
THEIR FEARS AND THEIR IGNORANCE
AND THEIR INTOLERANCE. TO BRING
UP THE BASIS STAND US WE SAW
THAT IT POWER WAY WE SAW THAT A
TREE OF LIFE WE'VE SEEN THAT IN
SRI LANKA WE'VE SEEN AT ALL
AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT I RISE TODAY IS A JEW
[inaudible]
BECAUSE ANTISEMITISM IS A
SCOURGE ON HUMANITY THAT HAS
GONE ON FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
I RISE TODAY AS A TRUE.
AND AS A WOMAN TO RECOGNIZE AND
REINFORCE THE FACT THAT ONLY
SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
A DEMAGOGUE NAME ADOLF HITLER
PERSUADED PEOPLE HUMAN BEINGS.
THAT JEWS WERE A PLAGUE ON THE
WORLD.
AND TOGETHER WITH THEIR
ACQUIESCENCE MURDERED SIX
MILLION JEWS.
AND SEVEN MILLION OTHER PEOPLE
FROM GYPSIES THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T
LOOK LIKE THE GRADE ARIAN RACE.
AND SO WE'RE HERE SEVENTY YEARS
LATER.
AND YET ANTI SEMITISM HASN'T
GONE AWAY [inaudible]
CHAU.
I WOULD LIKE TO JUST FOCUS A
LITTLE BIT ON WHAT HAPPENED
SEVENTY YEARS AGO BECAUSE SHOWS
GOOD SENATOR FROM SACRAMENTO
REMINDED US.
PEOPLE MARKED THE FACT OF THE
HOLOCAUST.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAD
NUMBERS WRITTEN ON THE INSIDES
OF THEIR ARMS AND I WILL TELL
YOU ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE
****.
IN THEIR IN HUMANITY DID THIS IS
BECAUSE IN THE JEWISH RELIGION
BEING MARKED.
IS A AN ACT AGAINST GUARDS SO
YOU WON'T SEE TOO MANY JEWS WHO
HAVE TATTOOS AND ALL.
IT WAS A SYMBOL OF DISRESPECT.
SO THE GERMANS JUST TO MAKE SURE
THE CHOOSE NEW.
THAT THEY WERE LESS THAN HUMAN.
PUT NUMBERS.
ON THE INSIDE OF THE ARMS OF
JEWS WHO WENT THROUGH.
THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
AND IN FACT IF YOU HAVE.
SUCH A TATTOO.
IN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS SIR OF THE
CEMETERIES YOU CAN'T BE BURIED.
BECAUSE THAT WAS A VIOLATION OF
CAUGHT.
SO THERE WERE EXEMPTIONS GIVEN
BECAUSE OF COURSE THESE WERE NOT
PEOPLE WHO CHOSE THE FIND
THEMSELVES TATTOOED WITH NUMBERS.
AND IF THEY WERE FORTUNATE
ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.
THE PRISON CAMPS IN THE IN
HUMANITY THEY SUFFERED THE LAST
INDIGNITY THAT THEY SHOULD EVER
HAVE TO SUFFER.
WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO BE BURIED
WITH THEIR FAMILIES IN THE
CEMETERIES OF EUROPE.
SO A REMINDER.
THE **** REGIME TARGETED ALL
JEWS.
RUSSIA KILLED OVER A MILLION
JEWS.
MY ANCESTORS HAD FORTUNATELY
LEFT RUSSIA.
DURING THE POGROMS ANOTHER
SPIRIT OF ANTI SEMITISM THAT
HAPPENED IN THE LATE EIGHTEEN
NINETIES IN THE EARLY NINETEEN
HUNDREDS AND I WOULD SUBMIT.
THAT A GOOD PORTION OF THE
JEWISH POPULATION IN THIS
COUNTRY.
CAME DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME
SO MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY TO GET
OUT BUT NOT ALL MY FAMILY GOT
OUT.
I HAD FAMILY IN POLAND.
THEY DIDN'T LEAVE.
FAMILY IN RUSSIA THE DIDN'T
LEAVE AND THEY WERE MURDERED.
BY THE GERMANS.
DURING THE WAR SO I HAVE A
PERSONAL CONNECTION AS I SUSPECT
AS WE DO.
FIND OUR DNA SO MANY OF YOU HERE
IN THIS ROOM SURPRISINGLY WILL
DISCOVER THAT INDEED.
YOU HAVE ANCESTORS WHO ALSO WERE
JEWISH.
BECAUSE WE'RE ALL ONE HUMANITY.
AND THE FACT THAT WE FORGET THAT
IS PART OF THE REASON WE NEED TO
REMEMBER IT HERE TODAY
[inaudible]
SO.
NOT ONLY DID THEY TARGET JEWS
BUT THEY PARTICULARLY SUBJECTED
WOMEN BOTH JEWISH AND NON JEWISH
TO IN HUMANE TREATMENT AND ABUSE.
WOMEN MADE UP TO MILLION A OF
THE ESTIMATED SIX MILLION JEWS
WHO WERE KILLED IN THE HOLOCAUST.
WOMEN DEEMED CAPABLE OF WORKING
WERE FORCED INTO DEPLORABLE
WORKING CONDITIONS WHICH OFTEN
THEMSELVES RESULTED IN THEIR%
DEATHS PREGNANT WOMEN AND
MOTHERS OF SMALL CHILDREN.
WERE SEEN AS IN CAPABLE OF WORK
AND WERE SENT TO THE KILLING
CENTERS TO MEET WITH THE TRAGIC
UNTIMELY DEATH IN THE HANDS.
OF THE AGENTS OF THE GENOCIDE
MANY THEIR WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
SEEING THEIR CHILDREN COLLAPSE
IN THE GAS CHAMBERS AND THEN
THEY THEMSELVES DYING AT THE
HANDS OF THESE.
ATROCIOUS MURDERS.
GERMAN PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL
RESEARCHERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF
JEWISH AND ROMA WOMEN AS
SUBJECTS OF ON ETHICAL HUMAN
EXPERIMENTATION INDEED DR
MENGELE LAW WAS HISTORICALLY
KNOWN AS SOMEONE FASCINATED BY
TWINS.
I HAD COUSINS APPARENTLY WHO
WERE TWINS TWELVE YEAR OLD TWINS
WHO WERE THE SUBJECT OF MEGALIS
EXPERIMENTS AND OF COURSE DIED
IN THE PROCESS.
BECAUSE HIS INTEREST HIS
FASCINATION WASN'T WITH HUMANITY.
IT WAS WITH HIS DISTORTED VIEW
OF SCIENCE [inaudible]
GERMAN PHYSICIANS.
EXCUSE ME BEATINGS AND RAPE WERE
ALSO COMMON OCCURRENCES IN
GHETTOS AND CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
BUT THESE WOMEN LIVING IN
UNIMAGINABLE CONDITIONS WERE
RESILIENT.
MANY WOMEN IN CONCENTRATING
CONCENTRATION CAMPS BANDED
TOGETHER IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.
IN POLAND SOME WOMEN SERVICE
CAREERS OF INFORMATION TO CHOOSE
IN THE GHETTOS.
WOMEN LED MANY RESISTANCE
ORGANIZATIONS IN THE GHETTOS
WHILE OTHERS TRIED TO RESIST
WITHIN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS
HIMSELF.
AT AUSCHWITZ. FIVE JEWISH WOMEN
SUPPLIED THE GUN POWDER THAT
MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH SPECIAL
DETACHMENT AND AJ WHICH BIRKENAU.
USED TO BLOW UP THE GAS CHAMBER
AND KILL SEVERAL SS MEN DURING
THE UPRISING IN OCTOBER.
NINETEEN FORTY FOUR THESE WOMEN
HOLD LEGACIES OF COURAGE AND
BRAVERY.
IN THE RESISTANCE OF THE ****.
SO WE REMEMBER WE SHARE THIS
BECAUSE WE DON'T EVER WANT IT TO
HAPPEN AGAIN.
THE **** REGIME.
AND THOSE LIKE IT OR NOT
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENTS OF HISTORY.
IF WE DO NOT STOP THE HATE THE
INTOLERANCE THE FEAR.
THAT EXIST IN OUR NATION AND IN
OUR WORLD WE WILL REPEAT.
THIS KIND OF EVENT AND WE WILL
CHOOSE THE JEWS AS THE FIRST
GROUP TO HATE.
WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS.
WE MUST BE BETTER THAN THIS AND
ON BEHALF OF THE LEGISLATIVE.
JEWISH CAUCUS ON BEHALF OF
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS IS A
BARBER.
AS A MOTHER IS THE DAUGHTER.
I ASK ALL OF US TO JOIN IN AND
NOT TRUSTS SUPPORT THIS
RESOLUTION.
WHAT TO ACT IN THE SPIRIT OF
COMPASSION AND LOVE? FOR ALL OUR
FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
THANK YOU MISS PRESS.
THANK YOU CENTER JACKSON FOR
THOSE WORDS SENATOR WIENER.

GENOCIDE HAS BEEN GOING ON

I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND -- THAT ALTHOUGH --
SIX MILLION OF THE VICTIMS LOG
COSTS FOR JEWISH OF COURSE OTHER
COMMUNITIES WERE IMPACTED
INCLUDING THE LGBT COMMUNITY --
THE LGBT COMMUNITY HAS ALSO BEEN
THE SALT OF COURSE THE SUBJECT
OF EXTREME VIOLENCE AND EFFORTS

HAPPENING TODAY RECENTLY YOU MAY
HAVE SEEN THAT BROUGH NAY --

ANYONE WHO IS -- LGBT -- SO --
THIS VIOLENCE THIS EFFORT TO A
RADICALLY ENTIRE COMMUNITIES --

IN THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBERS BEFORE
WE CAME TO START SESSION AT TWO
O'CLOCK.
AND YOU KNOW IT I HAVE ALWAYS
ENJOYED -- THE FLOOR
PRESENTATION IN THE ASSEMBLY
WHEN IT IS THE ART RECOGNITION
OF THE WHOLE COST AND THEM
MEMORIAL.
AND IT'S TYPICALLY A SOLEMN DAY.
BUT IT'S A DAY IN WHICH YOU PAID
TRIBUTE AND YOU RECOGNIZE THE
HISTORY.
BUT TODAY.
TODAY SHOULD BE THAT SOLEMN DAY
FOR YOU RECOGNIZE AND YOU
REMEMBER.
AND YOU PAY A YOU KNOW HONOR TO
THE HISTORY OF WHAT HAPPENED.
AND THE LOSS OF SIX MORE THAN
SIX MILLION LIVES.
DURING WORLD WAR TWO BUT TODAY
WAS EVEN MORE.
SOLEMN IN A WAY THAT IT SHOULD
NOT HAVE BEEN -- YOU KNOW I A I
GREW UP ON THE EAST COAST IN A
RURAL COMMUNITY THERE WAS NOT A
LOT OF DIVERSITY.
PRETTY HOMOGENOUS AND SO I GET
TO READ ABOUT THE HISTORY BOOKS
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE I
EXPERIENCED AND LEARNED.
ABOUT WORLD WAR TWO ALTHOUGH MY
DAD SERVED IN WORLD WAR.
TWO I AND I HEARD.
STORIES FROM HIM OUR THAT WERE A
LITTLE DIFFERENT -- THAN THE
HISTORY BOOKS.
BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL I MOVED TO
CALIFORNIA THAT I ACTUALLY HAD
THE REAL.
FORTUNE AND THE HONOR TO TOUCH
HISTORY.
WHETHER IT WAS A THROUGH OUR
PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNEW
REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING
JUNIOR.
OUR CESAR CHAVEZ AS MY
COLLEAGUES HERE.
HAVE SHARED STORIES OR HARVEY
MILK PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WHO
SERVED AND WORKED WITH HIM.
IN A SAN FRANCISCO.
ALL WE'RE WE ACTUALLY GET TO
TOUCH HISTORY.
AND IT SO IN REACHED MY LIFE TO
ACTUALLY KNOW AND BE ABLE TO SAY
THAT I DID JUST READ ABOUT THAT
IN A BOOK.
AND SO THE CEREMONY THAT WE HAVE
THE RESOLUTION THAT WE PAY HONOR
TO TODAY IN THE CEREMONY ON THE
ASSEMBLY FLOOR.
IN RICH MY LIFE BECAUSE THERE
ARE STILL INDIVIDUALS WHO COME.
IT'S GOTTEN HARDER EVERY YEAR TO
FIND SURVIVORS AND ACTUALLY
PEOPLE WHO HELPED IN THE
LIBERATION.
AND CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
AND I ALWAYS READ THE STORIES
AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE I KNOW
THAT MEMBERS OF THE A
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS WILL
SHARE.
THIS WITH YOU WHEN YOU CAN READ
THE STORIES AND I LOOK.
AT THE STORIES OF SOME AND I AM

AS WE DO AN ADJOURNMENT LATER.
THAT THERE IS A CONSTITUENT OF
HIS MISS LAURIE K. WHO SERVICES

BECAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY THAT
HAPPENED ON SATURDAY IN A WAY.
AND SO YET ANOTHER TRAGEDY ARE A
SHOOTING THAT IS HIT HOME IN OUR
COMMUNITY THERE'S NO PLACE IN
OUR COMMUNITY FOR THIS KIND OF
HATE I DON'T CARE WHERE WE GREW
UP.
I DON'T CARE.
WHAT WE LEARNED ARE IN THE
COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE GREW AND
WHAT WE LACKED IN TERMS OF REAL
KNOWLEDGE AND HISTORY OUR HEARTS
ARE BIGGER THAN THAT?
OUR HEARTS ARE BIGGER THAN THAT
WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT.
WE KNOW IT.
I SO APPRECIATE THE PRAYER OF
FOR MARCH CHAPLAIN THIS MORNING.
SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO HIT.
HIT THE RIGHT TONE AND AND
MOMENT OF WHERE WE ARE ANGER
ENCOURAGE.
WE HAVE TO LET THAT ANGER MOVE
US TO EXHIBIT THAT COURAGE. TO
REALLY STANDUP AND SAY THIS IS
NOT WHO WE ARE.
THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE IN ANY
COMMUNITY IN AMERICA.
WE CAN DO BETTER.
SO AS OUR HEARTS CONTINUE TO
BREAK FOR YET ONE MORE FAMILY
ONE MORE COMMUNITY THAT HAS
SUFFERED INCREDIBLE LOS.
LET US MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO DO THE KINDS OF
RESOLUTIONS LIKE THIS.
THERE IS NEEDED TODAY.
AND EVERY YEAR.
YOU KNOW WE WE STAND AND WE DO
THIS WEEK IN WEEK.
WE FEEL THE PASSION IN THE SENSE
OF WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT WE
HAVE TO TAKE THIS OUT OF THIS
CHAMBER.
AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WE
DO.
REFLECTS WHO WE ASPIRE TO BE AS
A COMMUNITY.
AND SO TO MY COLLEAGUES.
I THANK YOU FOR THIS RESOLUTION

THAN EVER BEFORE.
AND I ENCOURAGE ALL OF US -- TO

INCIDENCES THAT ARE BROUGHT UPON

TRAGEDIES OUT OF THOSE TRAGEDIES
COME STORIES OF HEROISM.

MENTION A FEW FROM SATURDAY.
JONATHAN MORALIS AN OFF DUTY
BORDER PATROL AGENT AN OSCAR
STEWART.
AND IRAQ WAR A WAR ARMY VETERAN
WERE IN THE SYNAGOGUE DURING THE
PASSOVER SERVICE.
AND DID NOT HESITATE TO STEP UP.
OSCAR RAN TO FIRE WHEN HE HEARD
THE GUNSHOT.
IT WAS HIS MILITARY INSTINCT.
THE ALL THAT THE GAS GUNMAN AND
CAUGHT UP TO HIS VEHICLE.
JONATHAN FIRED AT THE GUNMEN'S
CAR ANY WITH AS HE WAS DRIVING
AWAY.
AND BOTH OF THESE MEN RISKED
THEIR LIVES AND PREVENTED THE
SHOOTING FROM BECOMING EVEN
WORSE.
I MET NóI AT THE HAN ON
SATURDAY EVENING AT THE VIGIL AT
THE COMMUNITY VISUAL THIS EIGHT
YEAR OLD GIRL WAS ONE OF THE
VICTIMS.
THAT WAS SHOT.
BUT SHORTER IRRESISTIBLE
CHEERFULNESS.
THAT IS FULL OF LIFE I WAS

AT TO STAY STRONG.
HE IS MY NEW HERO.
I THANK SENATOR ALLEN FOR
MENTIONING THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM.
CAN I JUST THINK -- AS HE SHARED
THAT STORY OF THIS YOUNG MAN.

AN OPPORTUNITY.
AS MY WIFE AND I DID TWO TOURS.

THE EXHIBITION JUST A A COUPLE
OF WALLS OF INFORMATION FROM THE
HOLOCAUST.

ROOM -- ONE FIFTEEN THE REASON
WHY OF COURSE THERE'S BEEN

IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEIR
THESE STORIES ARE STARTING THESE
THESE THESE BEAUTIFUL CANDLES.
ARE START TO FLICKER OUT.
THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED IN THE
NINETEEN FORTIES.
AND THERE ARE FEWER AND FEWER
SURVIVORS WITH US EVERY SINGLE
YEAR -- IS ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY THE JEWISH CAUCUSES SO
ANXIOUS TO SUPPORT OUR HOLOCAUST
EDUCATION CENTERS LIKE THE LOS
ANGELES MUSEUM.
OF THE WHOLE ACOSTA NETWORK
THEY'RE TRYING TO DO TO EDUCATE
THE NEXT GENERATION -- WITH
SURVIVORS TO TELL THEIR STORIES
RECORDING THEIR STORIES BRINGING
IN YOUNG PEOPLE TO INTERACT WITH.
THOSE SURVIVOR SO THAT THEY CAN
HAVE A PIECE OF OF OF THAT
HISTORY THEY CAN INTERACT WITH
IT THEMSELVES TANGIBLY BEFORE.
IT DIES OUT FOREVER.

WHY THAT MISSION IS SO VITALLY
IMPORTANT.
SOME OF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
WAS SURVIVORS JUST YESTERDAY THE
MUSEUM.
IN A SHARED WITH YOU STORIES AND
ONE OF THE STORIES THAT THEY
REMINDED US.
OF WAS THAT THIS ATROCITY.
WAS COMMITTED BY A CIVILIZED
SOCIETY GLACIER THE NATION OF
BEETHOVEN AND BACH.
A NATION THAT ADD ELECTED.
THIS EVIL MAN DEMOCRATICALLY.
I NATION OF SOPHISTICATION.
MEMBERS WERE ALL IN GOVERNMENT.
WE ALL RUN AN ENORMOUS MACHINE A
BUREAUCRACY THAT PROVIDES
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SERVICES.
FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS.
BUT THIS MACHINE.
CAN BE TURNED FOR EVIL.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE SAW.
IN GERMANY THEY WERE THERE'S NO
WAY THEY EVER WOULD'VE KILLED
SIX MILLION JEWS.
IF IT HADN'T BEEN A BUREAUCRACY
OF SOPHISTICATION.
OF OF OF OF MODERNITY.
THAT HAD GREAT REACH GREAT SCOPE.
THAT INVOLVES SO MANY PEOPLE
PLAYING A A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT
CAR IN THAT GREAT MACHINE.
IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A
LESSON THAT WE HAVE TO GRAPPLE
WITH AS LEADERS IN A OF OUR
SOPHISTICATED DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
TODAY.
