Proclamation 10922 of April 23, 2025
Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust,
2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and during
this week of solemn remembrance, we honor the blessed
memories of the six million Jewish men, women, and
children who were viciously slaughtered by the
genocidal Nazi regime and their collaborators--one of
the bleakest hours in human history. We also remember
the Roma and Sinti, peoples of Slavic and Polish
ancestry, persons with disabilities, Soviet prisoners
of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, persons targeted based on
their sexual orientation, and countless other innocent
victims of this tragedy.
Earlier this year, our Nation solemnly commemorated the
80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, during
which we memorialized the lives of the mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons,
grandmothers, and grandfathers whose futures were
barbarically ripped away in Nazi-occupied Europe.
During these Days of Remembrance of Victims of the
Holocaust, we once again honor every Holocaust survivor
who has imparted their wisdom to younger generations.
Today and every day, we commit to preserving their
stories.
The price to humanity of the lives lost during the
Shoah can never be fully grasped or understood. Yet,
even in the wake of the Holocaust, a self-determined
Jewish homeland rose from the ashes as the modern State
of Israel.
Sadly, our Nation has borne witness to the worst
outbreak of anti-Semitism on American soil in
generations. Nearly every day following the deadly
October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Jewish Americans
were threatened on our streets and in our public
square--a reminder that the poison of anti-Semitism
tragically still exists.
For that reason, my Administration is proudly upholding
the basic truth that anti-Semitism has no place in a
civilized society. As President, I signed an Executive
Order directing the Federal Government to use all
available and appropriate legal tools to combat the
explosion of anti-Semitic harassment in our schools and
on college campuses--including through the removal of
resident aliens who violate our laws. We are also
steadfastly committed to investigating and swiftly
punishing all anti-Semitic discrimination in leftist,
anti-American colleges and universities.
During these Days of Remembrance of Victims of the
Holocaust, we reflect upon the dark affront to human
dignity posed by Nazis. We cherish the eternal memories
of all those whose lives were lost to the deadly
scourge of anti-Semitism. Above all, we vow to never
forget the atrocities of the Holocaust. We declare that
never again means now.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, do hereby ask the people of
the United States to observe the Days of Remembrance of
Victims of the Holocaust from April 20 through April
27, 2025, and the solemn anniversary of the liberation
of Nazi death camps with appropriate study, prayers,
and commemoration and to honor the memory of the
victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution by
remembering the lessons of this atrocity so that it is
never repeated.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-third day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
