                     HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY 2019

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, the 
world paused to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. 
Millions of Jews were mercilessly killed as part of what the Nazis 
called their final solution to the Jewish problem. This happened just 
74 years ago, though many seem to forget.
  From the ashes, Jewish people returned to their ancient homeland and 
established a dynamic democracy in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the 
Jewish people of Israel are again targets of extermination. Just 
yesterday, the deputy head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps 
called to erase Israel from the global political map.
  We must honor the memories of the 6 million murdered by Nazis by 
vowing that Jews will never again be threatened with extermination. The 
American people stand with Israel as proven by the embassy being 
established in Jerusalem where I led the House delegation May 14.
  We remember, and we vow: never again.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
