                      TRIBUTE TO JULIUS EISENSTEIN

 Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Mr. President, I would like to recognize 
the 100th birthday of Julius Eisenstein who was born on October 13, 
1919, in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland. I am honored to have the 
opportunity to speak about Julius's remarkable life today.
  Living in Poland during the Holocaust, Julius was abruptly taken from 
his home and forced into the Tomaszaw Mazowiecki Ghetto from 1940 to 
1943. From the ghettos, he was then transported all over Eastern 
Europe. Between May 1943 and April 1945, he was interned in the Blizyn 
Labor Camp and four other concentration camps. In April, Julius was 
finally liberated from Dachau by the U.S. Army. Julius and his brother 
Jacob survived the Holocaust.
  After he was liberated, Julius lived in Munich for some time. He 
married his wife Phyllis in 1947. Julius moved to New York in 1950, 
where he owned and operated numerous businesses. Julius now permanently 
resides in Florida. Julius and his wife have two children, Tobi and 
Fred. Julius's wife Phyllis passed away in 2017.
  Julius has been an active speaker for the Holocaust Documentation and 
Education Center, Inc., where he has touched the lives of so many. 
Sharing Julius's story is so important as we seek to educate our 
children and future generations about the atrocities of the past and 
stand together against all forms of hate, evil and violence.
  The Holocaust is a stark reminder that evil and hate exist in this 
world. Even today, we must remain ready to confront this hatred and 
bigotry in all forms. Every generation must heed the call to take 
action in the face of evil; this is the Holocaust's enduring lesson of 
mankind.
  Julius has lived through unspeakable horror and has dedicated his 
life to educating and inspiring those around him. Our memory of all 
those who suffered must never weaken, and we must always fight against 
hate. I am honored to wish Julius a happy birthday, and I wish him 
continued happiness with his family, friends, community, and loved 
ones.
