The Member from Worcester reflected on the personal and civic importance of the observance, described family refugee history and the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and introduced Heidi Fishman, a board member of the Vermont Holocaust Memorial and a descendant of Holocaust survivors. The Member from Worcester said the Vermont Holocaust Memorial and its educator workshops are important to ensuring students across the state learn about the Holocaust.
The resolution was presented under the consent calendar and adopted by the House and Senate as noted on the floor record.
