Beshear signs Holocaust education into law
Courier-Journal (Kentucky)
Surrounded by Holocaust survivors and teenagers-turned-lobbyists, Gov. Steve Beshear this morning in Louisville signed into law a resolution expanding opportunities for Kentucky public schoolchildren to learn about the Holocaust and other acts of genocide.
Beshear signed the bill at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, where eighth-graders at the parish school have lobbied the past three years to get the resolution passed.
“What these students have done is not only a great exercise in politics and the process of legislation,” Beshear said, “it is also and will also serve generations of students to come as they get the opportunity to study and learn from that horrific series of events.”
House Joint Resolution 6 directs the Department of Education to make curriculum materials on the Holocaust and genocide available for optional use in public schools by March 2009.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, D-Louisville, was overwhelmingly approved by the General Assembly.
The students at St. Francis lobbied for the bill in hopes of giving students in public schools the same opportunities they have had to study the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators.
Ann Klein of Louisville, a survivor of the Auschwitz death camp who regularly talks to students about her experiences, said the resolution’s signing was “the most emotional day of my life.”
“I never, ever would have imagined that I would have a day like this,” she said.
The resolution is named after the late Ernie Marx of Louisville, a Holocaust survivor who made his life’s mission to spread education about the horrors he witnessed.
Upon his death last year, Marx was hailed as the local “face of the Holocaust” for his many talks on the subject.
When Marx was 13, just days from his bar mitzvah, the Nazis burned his synagogue during an infamous night of pogroms in 1938 known as Kristallnacht.
Marx was twice detained in concentration camps and later was sheltered by a French priest. He joined the French resistance and eventually came to America.
In his retirement, he led at least 77 student groups in visits to the Holocaust museum, several of them from St. Francis.
Student Casey Biles said she and her fellow students lobbied relentlessly to get the resolution passed this year, building on the efforts of two previous classes of eighth graders.
“We’re not waiting for the world to change,” she said. “We’re changing it now.”

That nauseous Holocaust™ act is a law in many US states.
Reading thru some of the laws, its obvious by the wording that there was one source for the wording of the act(s).
Another generation of young and gullible minds will be warped by endless fairy tales of pity and grief, that can only be assuaged by the giving of massive amounts of our money to the "survivors" and their heirs.
Does this Holocaust™ BS propaganda ever stop or is it set to infect generation after generation of folk, like some out of control pathogen, that is resistant to everything, excpet the truth and for that, they have a resistance developed called imprisonment.
Since the holo-hoax makes up a lot of Western civilization, the lies will continue until the USA and Europe collapse.
Facts, truth, and reason make the Goyim uncomfortable. Hence the Goyim violently defend their misery, and prefer to be enslaved by Jews.
They deserve what they get.
The holo-hoax needs to be countered with education on the real documented genocides of the Armenian Christians and the Holomodor of the Ukranian Kulaks in 1932-1933 BOTH ORCHESTRATED BY JEWS!
