Designates April 28, 2022, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in Michigan to honor victims, survivors, and liberators of the Holocaust.

Recognizes the Holocaust as Nazi Germany's systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry from 1933-1945, resulting in the extermination of six million Jews and reducing the world's Jewish population by one-third.

Acknowledges that millions of others suffered death and oppression under Nazi tyranny based on religion, national origin, ethnicity, political beliefs, disability status, and sexual orientation or gender identity.

References PA 170 of 2016, which mandates Holocaust and genocide education in Michigan school social studies curricula for grades 8-12 and established the Governor's Council on Genocide and Holocaust Education.

Calls on Michigan citizens to reflect on the Holocaust and work to overcome hatred and intolerance through learning and remembrance.
