DAY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER GABRIEL.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GABRIEL YOU MAY
OPEN THE MEASURE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MADAM SPEAKER I RISE TODAY
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS TO
PRESENT ACR ONE SEVENTY OUR
ANNUAL RESOLUTION FOR HOLOCAUST
REMEMBRANCE DAY. NO DID HE RISE
YOM HASHOAH HOLOCAUST
REMEMBRANCE DAY COMMEMORATES THE
APPROXIMATELY SIX MILLION JEWS
AND COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO WERE
BRUTALLY MURDERED BY THE ****
AND THEIR COLLABORATORS. YANZHOU%
ALSO HONORS JEWISH RESISTANCE
DURING THE HOLOCAUST IT IS
OBSERVED ANNUALLY ON THE
ANNIVERSARY OF THE WARSAW GHETTO
UPRISING. IN OBSERVING YOM
HASHOAH THE JEWISH CAUCUS HAS
ALWAYS BEEN COMMITTED TO
CENTERING THE VOICES OF
SURVIVORS. THE A SECTIONAL FEW
WHO THROUGH EXTRAORDINARY
RESILIENCE AN INCREDIBLE LOCKED
SURVIVED THE **** ATTEMPT TO
EXTERMINATE THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO AID IN THE
COVERED AGING THE COVER NINETEEN
PANDEMIC OUR ABILITY TO HEAR
DIRECTLY FROM SURVIVORS HAS BEEN
GREATLY DIMINISHED. BUT WE
REMAIN COMMITTED TO TELLING
THEIR STORIES AND HONORING THEIR
LEGACY. SO TODAY AS PART OF
DEBATE ON THIS RESOLUTION
MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH CAUCUS ARE
HONORED TO SHARE THE STORIES OF
HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AND THEIR
DESCENDANTS. THESE NARRATIVES
ARE ABOUT PEOPLE WE KNOW AND
LOVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHOSE
INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS SERVE AS AN
INSPIRATION. AND ENDED DURING
REMINDER OF WHY ARE CAUCUS DOES
THE WORK THAT WE DO. I'D LIKE TO
BEGIN TODAY WITH THE STORY OF MY
FRIEND IN NEED OF FRIEDMAN. I
FIRST GOT TO KNOW NEED TO
BECAUSE HER SON ADAM AND I STUDY
TOGETHER TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY.
AND LATER BECAUSE OF HER
INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP IN SO MANY
JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS. I NEED
FAMILY WAS DEVASTATED IN THE
HOLOCAUST. HER SISTER TOTAL WAS
NINE WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED IN
THE GAS CHAMBERS IN TREBLINKA.
HER BROTHER OR NOT SHE WAS ONLY
A YEAR OLD WHEN THE **** THREW
HIM OUT OF A SECOND STORY WINDOW
AND THEN USED HIS BODY FOR
TARGET PRACTICE. HER UNCLE WAS
PUT INTO A PAIR OF ICY WATER IN
THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND FROZEN
TO DEATH. TWO AUNTS WERE SUBJECT
TO HORRIFIC MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS
INCLUDING FOR STERILIZATION. HER
GRANDPARENTS WERE MURDERED SO
WE'RE COUNTLESS OTHER RELATIVES
. ALL TOLD I NEED A LOST MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED FAMILY MEMBERS
IN THE HOLOCAUST. YEAH NEED AS
PARENTS WERE ANXIOUSLY SURVIVED
THE WAR BY JOINING THE PARTISANS
THE JEWISH RESISTANCE FIGHTERS
TO ESCAPE INTO THE FORESTS.
AFTER THE WAR THEY MADE THEIR
WAY TO THE UNITED STATES AS
STATELESS REFUGEES. I NEED A WAS
BORN SIX WEEKS LATER. SHE GREW
UP IN A COMMUNITY OF SIX HUNDRED
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR FAMILIES.
LIKE MANY IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
PEOPLE WORK TWELVE HOURS A DAY
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. I NEEDED IN
SPEAK ENGLISH UNTIL SHE WAS SIX
YEARS OLD. BY THAT TIME SHE KNEW
ALL OF THE STORIES ABOUT WHAT
HAD HAPPENED TO HER FAMILY AND
TO THE JEWS OF EUROPE. SHE
UNDERSTOOD THE CRIES IN THE
SCREAMS THE PEERS THE NIGHT TIME
SILENCE. THERE WAS NO MYSTERY AS
TO WHY THE ADULTS HAD NUMBERS
TATTOOED ON THEIR ARMS.
INCREDIBLY THE SURVIVORS IN HER
COMMUNITY WERE NOT FILLED WITH
ANGER AND HATE AND THOUGHTS OF
REVENGE. ON THE CONTRARY THEY
WERE FILLED WITH LOVE. DEVOTED
WITH ONE ANOTHER INTO THE
COMMUNITY. THEY TOOK CARE OF
EACH OTHER LOANED MONEY TO THOSE
IN NEED AND RAISE MONEY TO
SUPPORT THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
ABOVE ALL ELSE THEY FOCUSED ON
THEIR CHILDREN EVERYTHING WAS
ABOUT THE CHILDREN. I NEED A
LEARNED IMPORTANT LESSONS FROM
THE SURVIVORS. ABOUT WHAT REALLY
MATTERS IN LIFE. SHE LEARNED THE
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY. OF
CARING FOR THE VULNERABLE AND
ABOUT THE NEED FOR JEWISH POWER
IN JEWISH SELF DETERMINATION.
THESE LESSONS INFLUENCED HER
DEEPLY. SHE BECAME A SOCIAL
WORKER AND ADVOCATE FOR
IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AND
TODAY SERVES AS THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF JEWISH FAMILY AND
CHILDREN'S SERVICES. ONE OF THE
MOST IMPACTFUL SOCIAL SERVICE
AGENCIES IN OUR STATE. LIKE SO
MANY SURVIVORS AND THEIR
CHILDREN IN NEED IS ALSO DEEPLY
COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT WE
TEACH OUR NEXT GENERATION ABOUT
THE HOLOCAUST AND PATTERNS OF
GENOCIDE. SHE HAS REMINDED ME
RESEARCH SHOWS THE HOLOCAUST AND
GENOCIDE EDUCATION DEVELOPS
EMPATHY. REDUCES DISCRIMINATION
AND HATE AND INSPIRES MORAL
COURAGE AND A SENSE OF SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY. EARLIER THIS
YEAR WAS SUPPORT FROM THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA JEWISH FAMILY AND
CHILDREN'S SERVICES LAUNCH THE
CALIFORNIA COLLABORATIVE FOR
HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE EDUCATION
TO HELP TEACHERS LEARN HOW
DEFECTIVE WE TEACH ABOUT THE
HOLOCAUST AND OTHER GENOCIDES.
MEMBERS OF THE NEW STATEWIDE
COLLABORATIVE NETWORK INCLUDE
LEADERS FROM THE JEWISH ARMENIAN
CAMBODIAN RWANDAN SUDANESE UYGUR
AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. OVER
THE NEXT THREE YEARS THIS
COLLABORATIVE WILL TEACH SEVEN
HUNDRED TEACHERS AND ULTIMATELY
IMPACTS SEVENTY THOUSAND
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. BUT THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH TO GATHER WE HAVE A
COLLECTIVE OBLIGATION TO DO MORE
TO BRING THE LESSONS. CLEARLY
AND UNEQUIVOCALLY ABOUT CURRENT
GENOCIDES AND TO REDEDICATE
OURSELVES TO COMBATING ANTI
SEMITISM RACISM AND BIGOTRY OF
ALL FORMS. IN THAT SPIRIT I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT ON ACR ONE SEVENTY.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GABRIEL WE HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS
WISHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
DEBATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER BERMAN
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK. THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER MANY
OF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD ME TELL
THE STORY OF MY GRANDMOTHER- WHO
SMUGGLED HER AND HER MOM OUT OF
THE WARSAW GHETTO AS AS THE ****
CAME TO POWER. THIS MORNING I
SHARE A STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN
WHO HAD A SIMILAR BEGINNING TO
LIFE- AND THEN HER LIFE ACTUALLY
GOT MUCH MUCH WORSE. HEADY ORTON
WAS BORN IN THE SMALL ROMANIAN
TOWN OF. A RED TAG. WHERE SHE
ENJOYED A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE
CHILDHOOD. HIS FATHER SAMUEL WAS
THE PRESIDENT THE LOCAL JEWISH
COMMUNITY AND HAD HE HAD MANY
FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT
BACKGROUNDS AND RELIGIONS. BUT
HER IDYLLIC CHILDHOOD STARTED TO
CHANGE WHEN SHE TURNED ELEVEN
AND WATCHED AS HER NEIGHBORSWERE ATTACKED IN THEIR HOMES
BURNED DOWN A BY AN ANTI SEMITIC
MOB. THINGS SOON GOT WORSE AND
SHE WAS WOKEN FROM HER SLEEP
WHEN OUR OWN HOMES WINDOWS WERE
SMASHED. THEIR HOUSE OF WORSHIP
NO LONGER FELT SAFE. WHAT
STARTED AS ISOLATED INCIDENTS
SOON LED TO FORMAL POLICIES THAT
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST JEWS. THE
BEGIN WITH ANTI SEMITISM IN THE
SCHOOLS. AND CULMINATED WITH THE
ROUNDING UP OF ALL THE JEWS AND
SENDING THEM TO THE GHETTO. FOR
WEEKS HEADY IN OUR FAMILY WERE
IMPRISONED IN THE MUDDY FOREST.
WHERE DISEASE WAS RAMPANT. THE
ONLY FOOD THEY WERE GIVEN WAS
PORK WHICH WAS PROHIBITED BY
THEIR RELIGION AND ONLY MADE
AVAILABLE TO HIM YET HUMILIATE
THEM. HER FATHER WAS BEATEN SO
RUTHLESSLY HE COULD NOT STAND. A
NON JEWISH FAMILY FRIEND OFFERED
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE.
BUT SHE REFUSED TO ABANDON HER
PARENTS. HEY DIDN'T BELIEVE
THINGS COULD GET ANY WORSE BUT A
MONTH LATER THEY DID. THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY WAS CRAMMED INTO A
WINDOWLESS CATTLE CARS SO
CROWDED NO ONE COULD SIT. FOR
THREE DAYS THEY HAD NO FOOD NOR
WATER DESPITE THE SWELTERING
HEAT. WHEN HEAVY AND OTHERS HAD
TO GO TO THE BATHROOM THEY WENT
WHERE THEY STOOD. WHEN H
ARRIVED IN AUSCHWITZ SHE WAS
SEPARATED FROM HER FATHER AND
GRANDMOTHER BOTH OF WHOM WERE
IMMEDIATELY SENT TO THE GAS
CHAMBERS. WHEN SHE ASKED ANOTHER
PRISONER ABOUT THE ASH FALLING
FROM THE SKY LIKE SNOWFLAKES AND
THE DARK CLOUDS OF SMOKE SHE WAS
TOLD IT WAS THE REMAINS OF HER
FATHER AND GRANDMOTHER. WHO HAD
BEEN INCINERATED IN THE CAMP'S
EVANS. HAD HE ONLY SURVIVED
AUSCHWITZ BECAUSE OF HER MOTHER
HELEN. WHO STARVED HERSELF SO
SHE COULD GIVE HEAVY THE TINY
BIT OF MORE THE BREAD AND WATERY
SOUP THEY RECEIVED. WHEN THE
**** EVACUATED AUSCHWITZ THEY
FORCED HEADED TO MARCH BAREFOOT
THROUGH THE SNOW FOR THREE DAYS
WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER. GERMAN
SHEPHERDS ATTACKED HEAVY IN THE
OTHER PRISONERS WHILE THE GUARDS
BEAT OR SHOT ANYONE WHO STUMBLED
. HER MOTHER WAS SO WEAK SHE
COULD NOT WALK HEAVY CARRIED HER
ON HER BACK FOR MUCH OF THE
DEATH MARCH. THIS WEEK MARKS THE
SEVENTY SEVEN TH THERE ARE THE
SEVENTY SEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY
OF THEIR LIBERATION. SADLY ONLY
SEVEN DAYS AFTER THEY WERE FREED
HEADIES MOTHER PASSED AWAY. HAVE
YOU DUG A GRAVE AND BURIED HER
MOTHER WITH HER OWN HANDS. AFTER
THE WAR HEADY MET HOT TED ORDER.
TO WHOM SHE WAS MARRIED FOR
SIXTY NINE YEARS. TED WAS A
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR FROM A NEARBY
TOWN WHO ALSO LOST HIS PARENTS
AND GRANDPARENTS AT AUSCHWITZ.
TOGETHER THEY ESCAPED COMMUNISM
AND IMMIGRATED TO CALIFORNIA
WITH THEIR YOUNG DAUGHTERS. THEY
STARTED A SMALL BUSINESS WHICH
OVER DECADES OF HARD WORK
EVENTUALLY GREW INTO ONE OF THE
LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYERS IN
CALIFORNIA. AND HELP THEM TO
FULFILL THE AMERICAN DREAM. THEY
LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND ENDED
EVERY FAMILY GATHERING WITH THE
WORDS GOD BLESS AMERICA. THERE
SIXTEEN THERE'S SIXTEENTH GREAT
GRANDCHILD BORN EARLIER THIS
YEAR WAS NAMED HEDY IN LOVING
MEMORY OF THE FAMILY MATRIARCH.
AND HERE WITH US TODAY ARE
HAITI'S GRANDSON IT BRIAN BURKE
AT AND GREAT GRANDSON JACK BURKE
AT A WHO I HAD THE PLEASURE OF
CHATTING WITH YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON AND THANK HAS BECOME
KIND OF THE FAMILY HISTORIAN AND
JACK IS CELEBRATING HIS
ELEVENTH. BIRTHDAY WITH US TODAY
. I THANK YOU FOR SHARING HIS
STORY WITH US SO THAT WE COULD
SHARE IT WITH ALL CALIFORNIANS.
THANK YOU MR BERMAN MISS
FRIEDMAN YOUR RECOGNIZED AT YOUR
DESK. THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS IT'S VERY EASY YEAR
AFTER YEAR WHEN WE COMMEMORATE
THE LIVES LOST IN THE HOLOCAUST
TO START TO FEEL THAT THESE WERE
PEOPLE WHO LIVED A VERY LONG
TIME AWAY AGO IN A PLACE THAT
MUST BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM
WHERE WE LIVE NOW. BUT ACTION.
THESE HAVE HAPPENED IN THE TIME
OF OUR PARENTS AND OUR
GRANDPARENTS- MOST OF US HAVE
HAD INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO
BORE THE SCARS OF WHAT HAPPENED
IN GERMANY. AND GERMANY AT THE
TIME WAS CONSIDERED TO BE. NOT
JUST A CIVILIZED BUT AN
ENLIGHTENED COMMUNITY A
DEMOCRACY. AND YET THEY SLID
INTO. ONE OF THE WORST PERIODS
AND WORST ATROCITIES THAT
MANKIND HAS EVER SEEN NOT JUST
THE MURDER OF PEOPLE BUT THE
SYSTEMATIC FACTORY LIKE. PLANNED
EXECUTION OF MILLIONS OF MEN
WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IT'S SO
IMPORTANT THAT WE TELL SURVIVORS
STORIES NOT JUST WHILE THEY'RE
STILL WITH US AND THEY ARE STILL
WITH US AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE
FOR YEARS TO COME BUT SO THAT
PEOPLE REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER. THAT WE ARE
JUST AS CIVILIZED AND WE ARE
JUST AS ENLIGHTENED. AND THAT
WITHOUT BEING DELIBERATE AND
INTENTIONAL. WE ALSO COULD
ALWAYS SLIDE INTO SOME SORT OF.
ATROCITY ACTUATION WHERE WE ARE
SO WILLING TO DEMONISE OTHER
PEOPLE AND HATE OTHER PEOPLE
THAT WE ALLOW THE UNTHINKABLE TO
HAPPEN MAYBE NOT ON A GRAND
SCALE BUT EVEN ON A SMALL SCALE
AND WE CAN'T ALLOW. THAT TO
HAPPEN. WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT
A **** REALLY IS WHAT THE
HOLOCAUST REALLY WAS. I MYSELF
WAS CALLED A **** BY PEOPLE AND
BULLHORNS JUST THIS YEAR OUTSID
THE CAPITAL. WHO THOUGHT THAT
ASKING PEOPLE TO WEAR A MASK OR
GET VACCINATED WAS THE SAME AS
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOLOCAUST
AND WE HAVE TO STAND UP AND SAY
THAT THAT ALSO IS INEXCUSABLE.
NOW WHEN I GRADUATED COLLEGE I
WAS OFFERED A JOB FROM A FRIEND
OF A FRIEND. AND IT WAS MY FIRST
REAL JOB AFTER COLLEGE YOU KNOW
WHICH IS IN SOME WAYS YOUR MOST
IMPORTANT JOB. THAT FIRST ONE
THAT SETS YOU ON YOUR CAREER
PATH. AND I WENT TO WORK FOR A
LOVELY MAN WHO WAS A FILM
PRODUCER IN NEW YORK CITY. AND
HE WAS BRIGHTS AND HE WAS FINE
AND HE WAS A GREAT BOSS AND WE
ARE TO THIS DAY STILL CLOSE
FRIENDS IN FACT THEY WERE JUST
AT MY HOUSE A FEW WEEKS AGO HE
IS ALSO A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR MY
FRIEND BENNY CORSON WAS BORN IN
DENMARK IN NINETEEN THIRTY
EIGHT. GERMANY INVADED DENMARK
APRIL NINETEEN FORTY UNTIL
AUGUST NINETEEN FORTY THREE LIKE
DENMARK UNFOLDED AS THE WORLD
WAR TWO WAS HAPPENING SOMEWHERE
ELSE BUT IT WASN'T ALL THAT
CHANGED IN NINETEEN FORTY THREE
OUT OF AIKMAN CENTER NEXT TO THE
GERMAN EMBASSY COPENHAGEN
ORDERING THE GESTAPO TO ROUND UP
ALL OF THE DANISH JEWS ABOUT
SEVENTY FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE.
WORD GOT OUT SEVEN THOUSAND
PEOPLE MANAGE TO GO INTO HIDING
HOPING TO MAKE IT TO SAFETY IN
SWEDEN FOUR HUNDRED WERE
UNFORTUNATELY CAPTURED AND SENT
TO THE CAMPS AND THE CHAOS OF
GOING INTO HIDING BENNY'S
PARENTS DECIDED TO LEAVE HIM
WITH A GENTILE FAMILY ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF COPENHAGEN. ON A
DAK NIGHT IN NOVEMBER NINETEEN
FORTY THREE HE WAS BROUGHT TO A
SMALL BOAT THAT CROSSED THE
WATER BETWEEN DENMARK AND SWEDEN
WHICH BROUGHT BENNY AND SIX
ADULTS TO SWEDEN WHERE HIS
FATHER HAD BEEN WAITING
NERVOUSLY. FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IN
NINETEEN SIXTY MANY WORKED AS A
PRODUCTION ASSISTANT AT A SMALL
FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY IN
COPENHAGEN. AND A CREW FROM CBS
AT FROM NEW YORK ARRIVED TO MAKE
A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED IN NINETEEN FORTY THREE
IN DENMARK. BENNY IN THE
PRODUCTION COMPANY INTERVIEWED
MANY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
DANISH RESISTANCE MOVEMENT.%
INCLUDING THE VERY MAN ON HIS
BOAT. HE WAS TAKEN TO SWEDEN.
THAT MAN SAID TO BENNY. WE DON'T
KNOW ANY JEWS ALL I AND MY GROUP
KNEW WAS THAT THEY WERE DANES
WHO NEEDED HELP. HE AND HIS
GROUP CROSSED THE TURBULENT
SOUND BETWEEN DENMARK AND SWEDEN
A HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO TIMES
UNTIL THAT MAN WAS CAPTURED BY
THE GERMANS IN MARCH OF NINETEEN
FORTY FOUR. HE WAS SENT TO A
CAMP UNTIL THE END OF WORLD WAR
TWO WERE HUMOR ACCURATELY
SURVIVED. IF ONLY ALL CITIZENS
OF ALL COUNTRIES LOOKED AT THEIR
FELLOW COUNTRYMEN FELLOW
CITIZENS AND SAID THEY ARE MY
BROTHERS THEY ARE MY SISTERS AND
I WILL PROTECT THEM. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISS FRIEDMAN MISTER
BLOOM YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU MADAM SPEAKER OUR HOLOCAUST
REMEMBRANCE TODAY RECOGNIZES
THAT OUR BELOVED AND RESPECTED
COMMUNITY OF SURVIVORS IS
SHRINKING EVERY YEAR. THIS
RAISES THE QUESTION WHO WILL
BEAR WITNESS TO SIX MILLION
SOULS LOST TO THE HEROES TO THE
STORIES OF THE TRAUMA. WHO IT
MUST BE US AND SO I WANT TO SAY
THAT I'M GRATEFUL FOR MY
COLLEAGUESAND TO ALL OF YOU WHO
ARE SHARING STORIES AND
LISTENING TO STORIES TODAY AND I
WANT TO BRIEFLY SHARE WITH YOU A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW MY OWN
FAMILY WAS AFFECTED BY THE
HOLOCAUST AND- IT'S NOT A
TYPICAL STORY BUT I'M NOT SURE
THAT THERE IS A TYPICAL STORY
AND I THINK. AS YOU LISTEN. TO
THE STORIES TODAY THAT'S ONE OF
THE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED IS
THAT- EVERY STORY IS AN
INDIVIDUAL STORY EVERY FAMILY
WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT-
BOUND TOGETHER BY THESE.
HORRIFIC EVENTS. MY MOM AND DAD
WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE BORN IN
THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE
FACT THAT BOTH MY MATERNAL. AND
PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS MADE- VERY
PRESCIENT DECISION AND EMIGRATED
FROM EASTERN EUROPE NOT FAR FROM
FROM KEY FIVE BY THE WAY- IN THE
LATE EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS TO ESCAPE
AN EARLIER PERIOD OF OPPRESSION
AND ANTI SEMITISM AND WE NEED TO
REMEMBER. THAT HISTORICALLY
HOLOCAUST CAME FROM SOMEWHERE
ALL OF THAT HATE DIDN'T JUST
SHOW UP IN AN INSTANT IT HAD
BEEN. GROPPER AND GROWING
LITERALLY FOR CENTURIES. BUT MY
GRANDPARENTS MADE THE RIGHT
DECISION BECAUSE THOSE RELATIVES
WHO STAYED BEHIND WERE LITERALLY
WIPED OUT ALONG WITH MANY
VILLAGES AND TOWNS DURING THE
COURSE OF THE HOLOCAUST I
REMEMBER MY MOM COMING BACK FROM
A TRIP TO YAD VASHEM MANY OF YOU
HAVE TRAVELED TO JERUSALEM AND
HAVE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF
BEING AT YAD VASHEM THE-
MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST- BUT
IT IS ALSO A PLACE WHERE RECORDS
ARE CAPPED AND MY MOM. AB ONE AT
THIS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
SEVENTIES NOW MY MOM WANTED TO
SEE IF SHE COULD FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED IN MANY OF HER
RELATIVES. I'VE AND
UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS UNABLE TO
FIGHT SHE HAD NAMES- AND SHE WAS
UNABLE TO FIND RECORDS ON ANY OF
THEM. AN ENTIRE BRANCH OF OUR
FAMILY HAD BEEN LOST ALMOST
WITHOUT A TRACE. MANY OF YOU
HAVE MET MY WIFE ROBBIE BLACK IN
HER FAMILY STORY IS VERY
DIFFERENT. ROBBIE'S FATHER FRANK
BLACK WAS BORN FRANZ FAR CHILLED
IN NINETEEN TWENTY IN FRANKFORT
GERMANY. FRANK WAS THE YUNGEST
SON OF AN EXTREMELY WEALTHY
FAMILY THAT TRACED ITS ROOTS
BACK NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED YEARS
THE SPANISH INQUISITION YET
ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME OF
OPPRESSION AGAINST JEWS. BUT HE
GREW UP FRANK GREW UP IN A
MANSION IN FRANKFORT IN ITS
FINEST NEIGHBORHOOD. AND HE
PLAYED IN THE CITY'S MOST
BEAUTIFUL PARKS AND PROBABLY
RUBBED ELBOWS WITH THE YOUNG AND
FRANK WHO WAS ALSO FROM
FRANKFORT. FRANK'S FATHER EDUARD
LARGE SHIELD WAS A WEALTHY
BUSINESSMAN A SILK MERCHANT
OPERATING FROM ONE OF
FRANKFURT'S MOST NOTABLE
BUILDINGS THAT STILL STANDS
TODAY. AND HE WAS A DIPLOMAT HE
WAS APPOINTED THE HONORARY
CONSUL TO ESTONIA. BUT AS THE
**** ROSE TO POWER THE FAMILY
SITUATION BEGAN TO DETERIORATE
DETERIORATES AND PROGRAM. IN
NINETEEN THIRTY SIX THE FAMILY
WAS FORCED TO SELL THEIR HOME
FOR A PITTANCE AND HAD TO MOVE.
EVENTUALLY A DECISION WAS MADE
THAT FRANK HIS SISTER HIS
BROTHER ONE OF HIS BROTHERS- AND
HIS MOTHER WOULD LEAVE GERMANY
AND COME TO THE U. S. THEY
SUCCESSFULLY DID SO IN THE EARLY
NINETEEN THIRTY EIGHT BUT THEY
WOULD NEVER SEE THE REST OF
THEIR FAMILY AGAIN. EDUARD
CLINGING AS MANY DID TO THE
FALSE HOPE THAT THINGS WOULD GET
BETTER. REFUSED TO LEAVE. AND
FRANK'S BROTHER OLDER BROTHER
MAXIMILIAN. TOOK A DIFFERENT
PATH AND JOIN THE UNDERGROUND
DETERMINED TO FIGHT THE **** IN
NOVEMBER OF NINETEEN THIRTY
EIGHT. THE EVENT KNOWN AS
KRISTALLNACHT THE NIGHT OF
BROKEN GLASS HAPPENED. JEWISH
OWNED BUSINESSES AND SYNAGOGUES
ACROSS GERMANY WERE ATTACKED
DEFACED AND TORCHED. THE
BEAUTIFUL FRANKFORT SYNAGOGUE
WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND. WE
BELIEVE THAT THE HEADQUARTERS
BUILDING FOR SHARK SHIELD OX THE
FAMILY BUSINESS WAS DESTROYED
THAT NIGHT. BY THIS TIME EDWARD
AND LOST EVERYTHING WITH NOWHERE
TO TURN AND FACING A LIKELY
ARREST BY THE **** JUST A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AFTER KRISTALLNACHT.
EDWARD INITIAL FOR AND BEST
FRIEND A MAN NAMED DOSHMAN TOOK
THEIR LIVES IN JANUARY OF
NINETEEN THIRTY NINE. MEANWHILE
ROBBIE'S UNCLE FRANK'S OLDER
BROTHER MAXIMILIAN HEROICALLY
JOINED THE RESISTANCE. AND THIS
WAS IN FRANCE HE HAD TRAVELED TO
FRANCE. UNCLE MAX MUST'VE BEEN A
GREAT ACCESS ASSET TO THE
RESISTANCE BECAUSE HE SPOKE
GERMAN FRENCH AND ENGLISH
FLUENTLY. AND I SUSPECT HE MAY
HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN THE FAMOUS
EVACUATION OF DUNKIRK BECAUSE IT
COINCIDED WITH THAT TIME. WHILE
HE WAS IN THE RESISTANCE. THAT
WAS A STRATEGIC HISTORIC AND
ROGUE RETREAT AND IF YOU KNOW
THE STORY OF DUNKIRK A LOT OF
THE INTELLIGENCE THAT LED TO THE
SUCCESSFUL RETREAT HAPPEN BEHIND
ENEMY LINES. ACTUAL RECORDS
BECAUSE THE **** WERE REALLY
GOOD RECORD KEEPERS. RECORDS
SHOW THAT MAXIMILIAN WAS
CAPTURED IN FRANCE IN NINETEEN
FORTY THREE. HE WAS DEPORTED BY
RAIL CAR THE DEATH CAMP AT
AUSCHWITZ WHERE HE PERISHED.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
BEAR WITNESS MY FAMILY'S

TO EDUCATE I JUST WANT TO LEAVE
WITH THE WORDS OF A CZECH WRITER
MILAN KUNDERA WHO I'VE FACED
BEFORE ON ON THESE- ON THE FLOOR
THE STRUGGLE OF MAN AGAINST

AS YOU HAVE HEARD TODAY. THAT
THE HOLOCAUST FOR MEMBERS OF THE
JEWISH CAUCUS AND FOR MEMBERS OF
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IT IS NOT A
HISTORICAL IT. IS NOT A
HISTORICAL A MERE HISTORICAL
INCIDENT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT
IS DEEPLY PERSONAL. I THINK YOU
HAVE HEARD THAT FOR MEMBERS OF
OUR CAUCUS WHETHER IT'S OUR
FAMILIES AND I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE. OUR COLLEAGUE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BARRICADED CAN'T
BE WITH US TODAY WHOSE
GRANDMOTHER WAS A HOLOCAUST
SURVIVOR. BUT YOU HEARD ABOUT MR
BERMAN FAMILY HEARD ABOUT MR
BLOOM'S FAMILY. YOU HEARD ABOUT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN'S
EXPERIENCES WITH ALL OF THIS.
FOR ALL OF US THIS IS THIS IS A
DEEPLY PERSONAL ISSUE. AND THE
HOLOCAUST WAS MILLIONS OF
INDIVIDUAL TRAUMAS. BUT IT WAS
ALSO A COLLECTIVE TRAUMA.
THERE'S A COLLECTIVE TRAUMA THAT
WE AS THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FEEL.
AND IT IS SO POWERFULLY
INFLUENCE THE WAY THAT WE THINK
ABOUT THE WORLD. THE WAY THAT WE
REACT TO ISSUES THE WAY THAT WE
AS A CAUCUS NAVIGATE THIS
LEGISLATURE IN THE ISSUES THAT
WE WORK ON AND IT'S SO
FUNDAMENTALLY MOTIVATES THE WORK
THAT WE DO NOT ONLY TO STAND UP
FOR OURSELVES. AND OUR COMMUNITY
UNFLINCHINGLY BUT ALSO THE WORK
AND THE MISSION THAT WE FEEL TO
STAND UP FOR OTHER VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES TO STAND UP AGAINST
OTHER INSTANCES OF GENOCIDE IN
THE WORLD SO STAND WITH OTHER
VULNERABLE COMMITTEES WHETHER
THEY ARE. OR ARE DEGENERATES OR
OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE FACING
PERSECUTION. AND SO WITH THAT
SPIRIT IN MIND I THINK ONE OF
OUR COLLEAGUE SAID THE HOLOCAUST
IS NOT JUST SOMETHING WE SHOULD
REFLECT ABOUT IT IS ALSO A CALL
TO ACTION. WE HOPE THAT TODAY
FOR ALL OF YOU WILL BE A MOMENT
OF SOMBER REFLECTION BUT WE ALSO
HOPE IT WILL BE A MOMENT TO
