A
D
Geez,
this
is
a
resolution
in
solemn
recognition,
the
week
of
May
first
through
May
8
2016,
as
the
annual
remembrance
of
the
6
million
Jewish
martyrs
who
perished
during
the
Holocaust.
Whereas
over
60
years
ago,
6
million
Jews
were
murdered
in
a
Nazi
Holocaust
as
part
of
a
systemic
program
of
genocide
and
millions
of
other
people
suffered
as
victims
of
nausea
ism.
E
Whereas
the
memorial
committee
for
the
6
million
Jewish
martyrs
has
chosen
as
the
theme
for
this
year's
memorial
remembering
the
past
for
the
sake
of
our
future,
this
year's
ceremony
will
focus
on
the
continued
need
for
successive
generations
to
remember
the
Holocaust
and
will
feature
poems
readings
and
music.
That
speak
to
the
theme.
We
applaud
the
committee
for
the
honor.
E
They
will
bestow
on
the
memory
of
those
who
perished
and
on
those
who
survived
to
build
and
strengthen
life
in
Philadelphia
and
other
communities
where,
as
Jewish
Federation
of
Greater
Philadelphia
and
the
memorial
committee
for
the
6
million
Jewish
martyrs,
invite
all
citizens
of
Philadelphia
and
the
region
to
join
the
commemoration
ceremony
on
April,
seventeenth,
2016
in
front
of
the
holocaust.

Therefore,
by
virtue
of
this
citation,
the
council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
does
hereby
recognize
the
week
of
May
first
through
May
8
2016.
As
the
annual
remembrance
of
the
6
million
Jewish
martyrs.
We
further
recognize
the
horror
of
the
Holocaust
and
extend
to
the
memorial
committee
the
respect
and
admiration
of
this
legislative
body,
and
this
is
a
true
and
correct
copy
of
the
original
resolution
adopted
by
the
council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
on
the
7th
of
April
2016,
signed
by
the
president
of
city
council,
darrell,
l,

co-sponsored
by
all
members
of
council.
F
Good
morning
I
am
Sarita
ghoshal,
a
child
of
Holocaust
survivors
and
chair
of
the
memorial
ceremony
for
the
6
million
Jewish
martyrs.
Our
community
will
gather
once
again
on
Sunday
April,
seventeenth
at
the
monument
to
the
six
million
Jewish
martyrs,
to
remember,
honor,
and
warn
those
who
were
merciless
mercilessly
annihilated
during
World
War,
two
simply
because
of
their
faith.
The
tragedy
of
the
Holocaust
still
lives
within
us.
It
is
incomprehensible
to
grasp
how
easily
it
is
to
convince
people
that
a
group
of
other
people
are
worthless
and
should
be
destroyed.
F
Today,
as
we
remember
and
mourn
the
loss
of
six
million
of
our
brothers
and
sisters,
mothers,
fathers,
grandparents,
aunts,
uncles.
We
are
cognizant
that
the
hatred
we
see
today
in
the
Middle
East
bears
a
strong
similarity
to
that
with
our
own
people
suffered.
Today,
we
see
in
real
time
the
terror
on
the
faces
of
minorities
in
the
senseless
slaughter
of
men,
women
and
children.
We
have
witnessed
the
United
Nations
condemned
State
of
Israel
for
defending
itself,
while
it
remains
silent
about
the
atrocities
being
perpetrated
by
terrorists
and
other
terror
groups.
F
I,
remember
hearing
we
didn't
know,
but
today
we
do
know
we
watch
it
daily
on
our
televisions.
It
is
hard
to
believe
that
the
world
has
not
yet
learned
as
Jews.
We
have
learned
the
lessons
here
in
the
greater
philadelphia
area.
We
are
teaching
future
generations
of
children
of
all
faiths,
but
it
is
up
to
us.
We
must
find
ways
to
live
together.
We
must
be
tolerant
of
each
other's
customs
and
religions
and
we
must
work
together
towards
peace.
F
The
words
never
again
were
never
more
applicable
on
behalf
of
the
Jewish
Community
Relations
Council
of
the
Jewish
Federation
of
Greater
Philadelphia.
We
are
very
pleased
to
be
here
today.
We
thank
council
president
Darrell
Clarke,
councilman-at-large,
Allen
dong
and
Councilman
O'neill.
We
are
grateful
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia
for
continuing
to
support
our
efforts
and
we
invite
each
of
you
to
join
us
this
sunday.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
You
counsel,
present
I
just
wanted
to
thank
councilman
O'neill
for
including
me
in
his
resolution
and
I'll
tell
you
why
it
holds
a
special
place
in
my
heart,
because
my
grandfather
came
here
from
Poland
was
so
in
1921
he
was
one
of
nine
children.
His
ain't
brothers
and
sisters
never
made
it.
They
were
killed
in
concentration
camp,
so
this
is
a
very
special
resolution.
I
thank
you
for
including
me
and
I.
Really.
This
is
great
that
this
is
happening.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
A
Thank
you.

H
Last
week,
I
attended
a
candlelight
vigil
with
hundreds
of
families
impacted
by
crime
and
honor
of
this
week
and
I
recalled
to
me
how
important
and
rare
such
spaces
are
to
honor
and
hear
the
voices
of
our
families.
The
criminal
justice
system
is
not
equipped
to
handle
the
full
range
of
need
for
healing
and
the
need
for
rebuilding
of
trust
and
hope
for
families
who
experience
crime
every
day.
H
Children
witnessed
and
live
the
consequences
of
violence
in
our
lives
and
in
our
city
and
families
struggle
when
crimes
are
committed
by
those
who
profess
to
love
us.
So
we
need
a
public
health
and
restorative
justice
approach
to
our
families
and
communities
who
suffer
and
that
that
approach
needs
to
go
beyond
the
legal
definitions
of
just
crime
and
victim,
and
that's
why
we're
here
to
remember
honor
and
proclaim
this
week
as
Philadelphia
crime,
Victoria
crime,
victims
rights
week.
The
people
beside
us
behind
us
around
us
live
their
lives
in
the
spaces
of
compassion
and
healing.
H
They
bring
professionalism,
real
science
and
public
policy,
understanding
to
traumatic
experiences
that
none
of
us
are
prepared
to
deal
with.
They
help
us
here
a
vision.
A
purpose
hope
and
change
in
the
voices
of
victims
and
I
wanted
to
honor
them
this
week
and
council
honors
them
this
week.
With,
with
this
resolution,
I
want
to
introduce
my
fellow
colleague,
councilman
Curtis
Jones,
who
is
chair
of
the
commitments
Committee
on
Public
Safety
and
the
governor's
appointee
to
the
Pennsylvania
crime
and
delinquency
Commission.
I
Thank
You
Councilwoman,
and
to
all
of
our
members
on
public
safety
who
take
on
this
arduous
task
of
balancing
the
scales
of
justice
to
remember
the
victims.
It
doesn't
take
much
for
any
of
us.
In
my
case,
I
was
16
years
old
on
my
way
to
what
it
was
called,
a
social
it's
a
party
and-
and
we
were
walking
down
upland
way
in
my
neighborhood
and
out
of
a
driveway,
came
a
gunman
shot
into
the
crowd.
I'm
I
had
my
arm
around
the
young
lady's
wings
and
it
killed
her
dead,
a
16
years
old
back.
I
Then
it
was
not
vogue
to
get
counseling
so
as
a
young
man
I
internalized
it
the
way
and
process
it.
The
way
I
did
I
wound
up
not
going
to
school.
For
half
a
year
did
a
little
bit
of
self-medicating.
If
you
know
what
I
mean
and
to
this
day,
I
do
not
walk
under
an
umbrella
with
a
young
lady
ever
multiply
that
by
everyone
in
this
room,
who
knows
a
victim
and
knows
someone
who
was
victimized
by
crime,
and
we
realize
that
we
have
to
have
things
like
councilman
johnsons
hearing.
C
Whereas
national
crime
victims
rights
week
was
established
in
1981
to
promote
awareness
and
support
for
victims
of
crime
and
is
sponsored
by
the
federal
office
of
victim
federal
office
for
victims
of
crime,
which
provides
funding
the
state
victim
assistance
and
compensation
programs,
and
whereas
this
year's
theme
is
serving
victims,
building
trust,
restoring
hope.
Recognizing.
That
trust
is
of
particular
concern
in
communities
that
feel
isolated
from
or
invisible
to,
mainstream
service
providers
and
the
criminal
justice
system
and.
J
Whereas
a
large
proportion
of
people
can
expect
to
become
the
victim
of
crime
at
some
point
in
their
lifetime,
making
crime
not
a
remote
or
distant
issue,
but
rather
one
that
touches
many
of
our
families
and
communities
and
whereas,
in
2015,
after
a
period
of
significant
decline,
fill
it
up.
You
saw
its
murder
rate
climb
with
280
murders,
a
thirteen
percent
increase
from
2014
and.
K
Whereas
young
people
are
disproportionately
victimized
compared
to
other
age
groups
of
the
national
population
of
14
to
17
year
olds,
over
sixty
nine
percent
have
been
assaulted,
fifty-six
percent
had
it
had
experienced
a
property
victimization,
including
robbery.
Forty-One
percent
have
been
maltreated
and
twenty-seven
percent
have
been
sexually
victimized
at
some
point
in
their
lifetime.
I
Whereas
crimes
such
as
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault
and
child
abuse
affects
survivors
in
the
most
intimate
aspects
of
their
lives
and
whereas,
according
to
the
National
Center
for
victims
of
crime,
twenty
five
percent
of
the
crime
victims,
experience
lifetime,
PTSD
and
twenty-three
percent
of
the
family.
Members
of
homicide
victims
also
develop
PTSD
at
some
points
in
their
lives.
Whereas
too
often
factors
such
as
language,
culture,
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity,
identity,
age,
disability
or
social
isolation
may
prevent
victims
from
seeking
and
receiving
help
and.
L
Whereas
Philadelphia
has
taken
steps
through
its
sanctuary
city
policy
to
extend
protections
to
undocumented
immigrants,
including
those
who
are
victims
and
witnesses
to
crimes,
so
that
there
is
no
need
to
fear
that
our
call
to
the
police
for
assistance
will
result
in
deportation.
Additionally,
the
Department
of
Justice
has
launched
a
new
initiative
this
year
to
reduce
language
barriers
for
underserved
victims
throughout
the
nation,
through
training,
technical
assistance
for
victim
service
providers
and
allied
professionals.
O
Thank
You
councilman,
Clarke,
Thank,
You
counsel,
Thank,
You,
councilman,
Jones
and
also
Councilwoman
hell
again
for
introducing
this
resolution
and
helping
us
bring
awareness
to
national
crime
victims
rights
week
and
declaring
this
week
Philadelphia
crime
victims
rights
week.
The
Philadelphia
Coalition
for
victim
advocacy
consists
of
agencies
and
individuals
United
for
the
purpose
of
securing
and
promoting
the
rights
of
crime
victims
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
O
Since
its
inception
in
1980,
we
have
worked
tirelessly
to
make
the
criminal
justice
system
more
responsive
to
the
rights
of
victims
and
witnesses
throughout
community
as
a
through
community
education
policy
and
legislative
recommendations
and
by
identifying
gaps
and
existing
services.
Many
of
our
members
provide
invaluable
counseling
and
therapy
services
assistance
in
navigating
the
criminal
justice
system
and
crisis
intervention,
as
well
as
providing
an
arena
for
victims
to
voice
their
concerns
and
helping
to
end
the
cycle
of
violence
in
our
communities
through
education
and
advocacy.
O
All
victims
must
have
the
ability
to
access
services
when
they
need
them.
Our
continued
outreach
and
responses
must
evolve
to
ensure
that
services
are
culturally
relevant
and
that
we
collaborate
across
agencies
and
organizations
to
lessen
the
burdens
on
victims.
It
is
critical
that
we
are
flexible
and
open
to
new
approaches
to
reach
those
most
in
need
again.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
really
appreciate
the
council's
willingness
to
stand
with
us
too.
In
this
effort.
G
G
A
L
G
L
L
All
of
us
here
in
in
Council
and
some
of
us
in
our
previous
lives,
who've
done
advocacy,
work
at
one
point
or
another
have
interfaced
with
community
legal
services
and
why?
Because
they
are
social
justice
advocates
they
work
with
us.
They
strongly
advocate
with
us
and
sometimes
against
us
to
do
the
right
thing
by
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia.
L
So
whether
we're
talking
about
mortgage,
foreclosures
and
predatory
lending,
whether
we're
talking
about
water,
affordability,
whatever
the
issue
is,
we
can
count
on
the
expertise
and
the
knowledge
of
these
and
the
dedication
of
the
people
that
join
us
this
morning
and
when
you
hit
a
50
anniversary
milestone,
it
is
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
come
together
and
really
say.
Thank
you,
gracias.
L
The
sensitivity
to
language
access,
the
sensitivity
to
the
location
and
the
challenges
that
a
city
like
Philadelphia
with
such
deep
poverty
faces
when
folks
feel
like
they
have
no
hope
it
is
the
people
behind
us
that
generate
that
hope.
When
we
feel
we
can't
break
down
the
bureaucracy,
it
is
the
people
behind
us.
That
show
is
that
they
can
and
when
we
can't
get
it
right
here.

all
appreciate

for
over
30
years,
helping
and
develop
small
businesses
and
working
on
the
countless
problems
that
sometimes
up
happen
with

You

Two
weeks
ago,
this
council
passed
a
historic
resolution:
honoring
Jackie
Robinson,
a
man
who
not
only
changed
who
changed
the
face
of
American
sports
and
culture,
and
in
that
resolution
we
also
apologize
for
the
virulent
racism
he
had
experienced
here
in
our
city
in
a
recent
documentary
on
his
life
at
that
aired
this
week
nationally.
It
was
also
noted
that
we
are
the
first
city
to
have
done
so
in
this
country
to
mark
jackie
robinson
day,
which
takes
place
tomorrow.
H
I
wanted
to
welcome
this
morning,
aight
jackie
robinson
foundation,
scholars
and
alumni
men
and
women
who
have
received
highly
competitive
scholarships
from
the
jackie
robinson
foundation
and
welcome
them
here
in

council,
and
if
we
could
just
have
them
stand
up
as
well
as
members
of
the
door.

wanted.

To
just

The

foundation
is
an
organization
whose
goal
is
to
continue
Robinson's
commitment
to
equal
opportunity
by
addressing
the
achievement
gap
in
higher
education,
it's
a
wonderful
institution
and
for
over
40
years
the
foundation
has
advanced
its
mission
by
awarding
scholarships
to
outstanding
high
school
graduates
who
attend
four-year
colleges
and
universities.
So

This

could
resolve

end

The
answer
to

is
not
the
silence
the
critic

to

R
A
R
A
A
R
I
have
spoken
to
numerous
experts
throughout
the
country
and
and
within
our
city,
but
I
think
one
of
the
important
things
that
we
must
do
is
hear
from
people
in
our
community
and
therefore
I
placed
on
every
council
members
desk
a
schedule
of
the
hearings
and
we
have
reached
out
to
the
offices.
But
if
there
is
a
hearing
in
or
near
your
district,
that
affects
your
district,
please
let
me
know
to
co-host
this
with
me.
R
It's
an
exploration
of
you
know
how
the
heroin
epidemic
is
affecting
people
in
our
communities
and
also
because
the
experts
inform
me
that
one
of
the
best
ways
to
deal
with
heroin
epidemic
in
a
large
city
like
Philadelphia
is
to
rely
on
smaller
groups
of
local
community
members
to
provide
the
energy
and
leadership
and
information
in
working
in
smaller
ways
throughout
our
city.
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
have
been
done.
R
I
first
was
made
very
seriously
aware
of
the
heroin
epidemic
or
heroin
use
when
I
was
in
the
district
attorney's
office
and
and
then
as
a
defense
counsel
on
at
this
point
in
time,
the
effects
of
drug
abuse
are
rampant,
and-
and
it's
very
sad,
we
deal
with
a
lot
of
great
things.
Happy
things
in
this
body,
but
also
a
lot
of
sad
thing
is
none
more
so
than
the
wasting
away
of
human
beings
and
their
human
potential
with
a
very
unhappy
life
and
a
very
slow
way
to
bring
themselves
to
their
demise.
R
And
so,
if
there's
any
way,
we
can
help
and
those
parents
and
family
members
and
community
members
please
come
and
share
your
experience.
Your
knowledge
and
your
suggestions
on
how
we
as
a
city
can
work
together,
coordinating
our
departments
more
effectively
to
address
and
resolve
I
hope
on
this
type
of
does
devastating
epidemic.

you

personally
henceforth
the
reason
for
my
remarks
today.
It
really
was
a

day.
The

was
very

was
greatly
honored

Thank

Mr.
president,
two
quick
points:
number
one
I
want
to
join
the
council,
particularly
about
CLS.
Today
they
have
taken
on
the
cause
or
reengaged
on
the
cause
of
some
of
the
individual
that
come
out
down
here
every
week
about
the
sheriff,
sale
system
and
they're
working
with
a
lot
of
them
to
deal
with
individual
cases
while
counts,
woman,
bass
and
I.
Look
at
some
of
the
systemic
things
that
we
can
improve.
I
But
I
want
to
thank
CLS
for
taking
that
that
responsibility
on
the
second
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about
is
that
everyone
knows
that
we
will,
on
april,
26
have
an
election
it'll
be
for
the
nominees
for
the
President
of
the
United
States.
Both
parties
it'll,
be
for
congressional
it'll,
be
for
real
offices
at
the
state
level,
but
also
a
piece
of
work.
A
couple
of
pieces
of
work
that
the
City
Council
put
forth
on
the
ballot
initiative.
I
It
doesn't
take
long
once
you've
attended
one
of
our
hearings
dealing
with
justice
or
whether
the
we
talked
about
the
award
that
was
given
for
revamping
justice,
how
many
african-american
males
wind
up
in
that
system
or
in
that
violence,
and
we
need
to
figure
out
why
councilman
Johnson
invited
me
up
to
gratis
for
to
meet
with
a
group
of
long-term
inmates
there,
and
these
were
intelligent,
bright
men
that
have
run
afoul
of
the
law.
I.
I
Also
next
month
will
be
God
willing,
a
tendon
linking
universities,
graduation
cuz,
my
track
daughter
is
graduating
from
there
with
a
master's
degree,
now
two
different
outcomes
dealing
with
a
population
of
males,
and
we
need
to
figure
out
why
one
trajectory
happens
versus
the
other.
It
could
be
that
many
of
the
men
that
we
met
wit
up
gratis
hurt
come
from
single
head
of
household
homes.
It
could
be
that
education
may
have
failed
them
along
the
way
and
they
could
not
read
up
to
par
and
got
and
ran
a
foul
to
law.
I
It
could
be
a
number
of
things,
but
the
point
of
the
Commission
is
to
find
out
why
and
if
we
do
that
and
if
we
make
it
permanent
as
the
ballot
question
offers,
we
will
have
time
to
study
this.
Often
too
often,
according
to
my
staff,
talk
about
if
there
were
300
male,
a
whales
that
washed
up
on
the
shore
to
Delaware.
Every
marine
biologists
in
the
world
will
want
to
know
why,
but
300
men
can
die
every
year
due
to
gun
violence
and
it's
a
new
normal.
I
B
E
You
thank
you
for
those
wishes
and
is
my
birthday.
Wish,
earned
income
tax
climate
and
just
I
just
want
to
make
this
one
quick
announcement
that
if
we
have
till
April
eighteenth
we're
four
days
into
it
and
I
don't
want
to
leave
that
hundred
million
dollars
in
Washington
DC
I
wanted
to
Philadelphia
helping
those
40,000
people.
So
anyone
here
today
the
press,
anybody
can
tell
people
about
it.
E
A
E
K
Thank
You
council
president
I
just
have
one
small
announcement,
but
I
want
to
also
just
be
supportive
of
my
colleagues
to
chairman
of
Public
Safety
comments,
councilman
Curtis
Jones
regarding
my
national
efforts
to
address
the
issue.
You've
come
violence
and
he
always
used
the
analogy
of
if
so
many
whales
washed
up
on
shore
I'm
how
we
would
address
the
issue,
and
it
should
also
be
the
equivalence
of
how
they
address
the
issue.
K
You've
gun
violence,
but
also
I'ma,
bring
it
home
as
well
and
look
at
how
recently
the
Center
for
Disease
when
a
national
level
have
issued
a
call
to
urgency,
as
well
as
president
barack
obama,
to
address
to
Zika
virus
on
the
federal
level
they
have
transferred
over
several
million
dollars.
That
was
leftovers
from
looking
at
the
Ebola
virus
to
begin
looking
at
the
Zika
virus,
and
they
also
are
requesting
1.9
billion
dollars
to
address
the
Zika
virus.
K
So
we
will
see
far
more
young
people
being
shot
and
murdered
on
the
streets
of
Philadelphia
and
throughout
this
country
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
then
you
will
actually
see
individuals
passing
away
and
dying
from
the
Zika
virus
and
that's
the
same
level
of
urgency
that
we
need
to
have
when
we
see
not
only
just
the
issue.
You've
come
bouncing
in
urban
areas,
but
even
when
you
look
at
Sandy
Hook,
you
know
another
little
counties
throughout
this
country
where
people
are
dying
as
a
result
of
gun,
violence
and
I've.
K
Just
recently
sent
to
my
colleagues
today,
a
gun
that
was
confiscated
and
I'm
salt,
rightful
you
see
the
clip
the
magazine
clip
on
the
gun,
that's
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
That
was
confiscated
this
week
and
I'm
a
firm
believer
that
we
have
to
take
personal
responsibility
and
encourage
our
young
men
and
not
pick
up
guns
in
the
first
place.
But
there
are
no
Aziz
made
in
point
breeze
or
strawberry
mansion.
That
gun
came
from
somewhere
and
so
just
want
to
follow
up
and
be
supportive
of
my
colleague
as
we
address
this
issue.
K
H
Among
the
things
that
came
forward
has
been
councils,
serious
attention
to
the
issue
of
teacher
vacancies
and
the
impact
that
it
has
had
on
young
people
and
on
the
school
communities,
among
them
being
the
fact
that
thousand
of
young
people
will
be
going
into
remedial
programs
this
summer
or
will
need
to
seek
credit
recovery
because
they
have
not
had
a
teacher
in
the
classroom
or
a
certified
teacher
in
the
classroom.
For
more
than
two
thirds
of
the
year.
We
have
hundred
thousands
of
children
in
grades,
K,
2
3
that
aren't
split
grades.
H
We
have
a
disastrous
35
million
34
million
dollar
source
for
teachers,
contract
that
has
ravaged
many
of
our
school
communities.
But
the
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
I
hope
that
council
doesn't
see
this
as
being
a
situation
of
hopelessness,
but
that
our
attention
to
this
issue
is
actually
bringing
some
change
among
them.
H
Many
of
us
would
be
doing
everything
we
can
to
make
that
happen.
But
I
think
we
can
also
do
that
today
by
trying
to
figure
out
different
ways
to
be
creative
about
attracting
teachers
here
about
making
sure
that
they
can
live
in
the
communities
in
which
they
teach
that
we
can
embrace
a
whole
approach
and
understand
that
schools
are
economic
engines
and
drivers
that
they
can
help
rebuild
our
neighborhoods.
H
M
You,
council
president
I
will
be
very
brief.
Many
of
you
probably
seen
the
news
reports
regarding
the
unfortunate
situation
that
happened
to
miss
Bonnie
Moran
a
letter
she
received
from
someone
who
was
not
quite
neighborly
regarding
her
autism
I,
want
to
commend.
Miss
Breen
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
her
the
other
day
and
also
commend
her
neighbors,
who
are
neighborly,
who
really
worked
and
encouraged
her
in
reference
to
that
issue.
M
I
know
she's
been
in
conversation
when
I'm
council
mahina
in
his
office
regarding
on
that
issue,
and
it's
and
when
you
have
unfortunate
things
like
this
happen,
especially
during
Autism
Awareness
Month,
we
need
to
have
more
autism
acceptance
and
the
fact
we
do
have
strong
neighbors
here
in
the
City
of
Brotherly
Love
and
sisterly
affection.
They
were
able
to
work
with
miss
Miranda,
her
family
and
let
them
let
her
know,
and
our
children
know
that
this
is
not
one
foot
off
is
about.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
