The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Never Again Education Reauthorization Act, aimed at enhancing Holocaust education across the nation. The legislation, which has already cleared the Senate, is now set to be signed into law by President Biden. Key proponents of the bill, including Ranking Member Scott and Representatives Maria Salazar, Buddy Carter, and Kiley, emphasized the importance of teaching future generations about the Holocaust and the dangers of antisemitism. The act reauthorizes funding for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to develop educational resources, ensuring that the lessons of history are not forgotten. This initiative comes in the wake of heightened concerns about antisemitism, with advocates highlighting the necessity of accurate Holocaust education as a means to combat such attitudes. The act is part of a broader effort to remember the victims of the Holocaust and prevent similar atrocities in the future.
