Joyce’s bipartisan, bicameral bill designates home-state holocaust memorial as national memorial

U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) last week joined several of his Ohio colleagues to introduce a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would designate the Kol Israel Holocaust Memorial in Bedford Heights, Ohio, as a national memorial.

“I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this important bipartisan legislation to designate the Kol Israel Holocaust Memorial as a National Memorial,” Rep. Joyce said. “By honoring the memory of the Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, we help the next generation continue our critical efforts to prevent anti-Semitism from taking root in our society and follow through on the promise of Never Again.”

H.R. 7618, which U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) sponsored on April 28 alongside seven original cosponsors, including Rep. Joyce and U.S. Reps. Troy Balderson (R-OH) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), is the identical bill to S. 4121, introduced on the same day by U.S. Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in their chamber. 

The Kol Israel Holocaust Memorial, which was built in 1961 by survivors of the Holocaust living in northeast Ohio, is one of the oldest Holocaust memorials in the United States, according to the lawmakers.
