In the House of Representatives, lawmakers recently voted on an important decision about keeping Holocaust education alive in schools. They agreed to continue funding programs that teach students about the Holocaust, which was a terrible time in history when millions of people were killed just for being different. This vote means that the United States will keep supporting these lessons until at least the year 2030.

This is important because learning about the Holocaust helps people understand why it's crucial to stand up against hate and injustice. It's a way to make sure we remember what happened, and try to prevent anything like it from happening again in the future. By continuing to fund these programs, the government wants to ensure that students learn valuable lessons about tolerance, understanding, and human rights.

The decision to approve this funding shows that the lawmakers believe education can help create a better, more accepting world. They want future generations to remember the past, honor the victims, and learn from these events to promote peace and justice in society.

This is a bill to continue support for Holocaust education programs until 2030. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will keep helping schools teach about the Holocaust, which was a time during World War II when many Jewish people and others were harmed and killed by the Nazis. This bill ensures that teaching these lessons won't stop, helping students learn important history and prevent such events in the future.
