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.

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

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.
