Holocaust Group
Supports Bill
The Holocaust Committee
of the Jewish Community
Council took a position in
support of S.J.R. 212,
designating April 24 as Na-
tional Day of Remembrance
for the Armenian victims of
genocide. The resolution, in-
troduced in the U.S. Senate in
September 1989, was stalled
for an extended period by
Senate filibuster. Both
Michigan senators have sign-
ed on as cosponsors of the bill.
Holocaust Committee
Chairman Charles Silow
said, "The community felt it
was very important to
demonstrate solidarity with
the Armenian community.
The Armenian genocide is
one of the forgotten tragedies
of the 20th century. Hitler
himself referred to the fate of
the Armenian people as
justification for his plans to
exterminate the European
Jewish community."
Although the resolution on
Armenian genocide has been
introduced every year since
the 1970s, it has only passed
once. This year, it was refer-
red to the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
