Message - U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council Stack: Row: Section: Shelf: Position: G 18 17 5 1 GB/TV/TD/SMG/ltd CC: L.DeHart/Sarah DeCamp/Tom Valega/ T.Donovan/CF EVENT: NOON Apr 24 90 DUE: Apr 23 90 USHoloca April 23, 1990 I am pleased to join with the members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council and all those gathered at our Nation's Capitol in remembering the victims of Nazi atrocities during World War II. By reminding us of the horrors of the Holocaust, Days of Remembrance ceremonies like this one help to ensure that genocidal terror never happens again. Neither the passage of time nor the sheer enormity of the evil that befell six million Jews and millions of other innocent men, women, and children during World War II should be allowed to obscure the personal pain and suffering inflicted by the Nazi regime. Each time we remember the millions of people killed as a result of the Nazis' racist ideology, we remind ourselves of the devastating power of bigotry and hatred. We also remind ourselves that these destructive forces must be overcome wherever, and in whatever form, they appear. Today, as we witness a rebirth of freedom and respect for human rights around the world, it is important to remember that these rights are God- given and unalienable and that their steadfast defense is the only sure foundation for lasting peace. As experience has shown us, we must remain ever vigilant, ever committed to the principles of liberty and justice. Barbara joins me in thanking the members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council for their work in making this special remembrance possible, and we send our best wishes for their continued success as we look forward to the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. God bless you. GEORGE BUSH Call Sarah DeCamp for dispatch THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON APRIL 23, 1990 MEMORANDUM FOR LINDA DEHART FROM: SARAH DECAMP SUBJECT: PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE FOR THE U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY AT THE U.S. CAPITOL; APRIL 24 -- 12:00 NOON This is a last minute rush request for a Presidential Message for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council Days of Remembrance Ceremony at the U.S. Capitol tomorrow. Please use the attached as the basic text but add a paragraph at the beginnning that addresses the message to all those gathered at the U.S. Capitol for the Annual Days of Remembrance Ceremony. Delete the lines that refer specifically to the reading of the names. Also, please include a line that supports the efforts of the U.S Holocaust Memorial Council to erect a Holocaust Museum on the Mall. The museum will open in the Spring of 1993. The Holocaust Memorial Council, established by a unanimous act of Congress in 1980, mandated that the Council lead the nation in annual observances of Days of Remembrance and to build the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Please call me if you have questions. Thanks-- Sarah THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 19, 1990 I am pleased to join with the members of B'nai B'rith International and all those observing Yom Hashoa in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust. By reading the names of those who perished during the Holocaust, you underscore the fact that they were our brothers and sisters -- individuals who had hopes and dreams much like our own. Neither the passage of time nor the sheer enormity of the evil that befell them should be allowed to obscure the personal pain and suffering inflicted by the Nazi regime. Each time we remember the millions of innocent men, women, and children killed as a result of racist ideology, we remind ourselves of the devastating power of bigotry and hatred. We also remind ourselves that these destructive forces must be overcome wherever, and in whatever form, they appear. Today, as we witness a rebirth of freedom and respect for human rights around the world, it is important to remember that these rights are God- given and inalienable and that their defense is the only sure foundation for lasting peace. Commemorations such as yours give us an occasion to rededicate ourselves -- as individuals and as a nation -- to ensuring that genocidal terror never happens again. Barbara joins me in commending you for partici- pating in this important event. ay Bush THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON FACSIMILE TRANSMITTAL SHEET NUMBER OF PAGES INCLUDING COVER DATE 4/23/90 TO Sara Bloomfield FAX NUMBER 653.7134 OFFICE NUMBER COMMENTS FROM Swel Decamp OFFICE NUMBER 456-7845 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 23, 1990 I am pleased to join with the members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council and all those gathered at our Nation's Capitol in remembering the victims of Nazi atrocities during World War II.
