                     IN RECOGNITION OF DALE DANIELS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 13, 2019

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dale Daniels as 
she is honored by the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide 
Education (Chhange) at its 2019 Testimonial Dinner. Ms. Daniels' 
exemplary leadership and contributions to Chhange are truly deserving 
of this body's recognition.
  Since 1979, the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide 
Education has striven to educate the public, eradicate prejudice and 
serve as a resource to the community on Holocaust, genocide and other 
human rights issues. Its efforts to bring attention to human and civil 
rights violations and to honor the victims and survivors of genocide 
are truly commendable. Ms. Daniels' nearly 25 years of service to 
Chhange are indicative of her dedication to the organization and its 
mission to create change.
  Joining Chhange (then the Center for Holocaust Studies) as a 
volunteer in 1995 after hearing a Holocaust survivor's story, Dale 
Daniels quickly found her passion. Soon after, she served as a member 
of the Board of Directors and an interviewer for the Survivors of the 
Shoah Foundation. In 2000, Ms. Daniels became the first Executive 
Director of the organization, and under her leadership, Chhange has 
grown immensely and expanded its programs and outreach.
  With her direction, Chhange has produced exhibits, books, films and 
installations that educate and engage the public while paying tribute 
to the victims. It has also created and maintains the first and only 
Holocaust and genocide archives in New Jersey and offers training for 
law enforcement, clergy and juvenile hate crime offenders. Its work 
with schools, organizations and communities enable individuals to 
better understand historical and present-day atrocities and human 
rights abuses and foster a more tolerant and inclusive society. Ms. 
Daniels' vision and connection to the issues she promotes have made 
Chhange an invaluable resource that has an extraordinary impact on the 
community.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in leading this body in recognition of 
Dale Daniels for her tireless dedication and advocacy.
