Proclamation 10922—Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, 2025

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation titled "Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust, 2025." This action designates the period from April 20 through April 27, 2025, as "Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust." Through this proclamation, the President asks the people of the United States to observe these days with appropriate study, prayers, and commemoration, and to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.

This proclamation affects the people of the United States by asking them to remember the six million Jewish men, women, and children, as well as Roma and Sinti, peoples of Slavic and Polish ancestry, persons with disabilities, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other innocent victims. It also honors Holocaust survivors and commits to preserving their stories. This action matters because it is a ceremonial observance that brings national attention to the remembrance of victims of the Holocaust. It expresses the sentiment of the President on behalf of the nation, drawing public awareness to these communities and the lessons of the atrocity so that it is never repeated. This type of proclamation does not create new law, direct federal spending, or impose legal obligations on citizens, and it falls squarely within the executive tradition without constitutional challenges.
