Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, this year marks 70 years since the
spring of 1945, when Allied forces liberated concentration camps, a
major milestone in the end of the Holocaust.

For more than 30 years, the Greeley Holocaust Memorial Observances
has helped raise awareness of the atrocities of Nazi crimes and the
perils of anti-Semitism, hatred, and intolerance. This month, the
Greeley Holocaust Memorial Observances will continue its longstanding
tradition of remembering the victims of the Holocaust, commemorating
the end of this horrific part of our history, and educating Coloradans
about the importance of the Holocaust with discussions, films,
exhibits, and workshops. This year's events will include presentations
by Holocaust survivor Nathan Taffel.

It is my pleasure to commend the Greeley Holocaust Memorial
Observances Committee for their dedicated service to this critical
cause and to congratulate the Committee on its 32nd Greeley Holocaust
Memorial Observances, 70 years after the end of the Holocaust.
