The resolution allows a public Holocaust remembrance ceremony in Emancipation Hall—supporting public commemoration and safety oversight—at the cost of using limited Capitol Visitor Center space/staff time and imposing logistical conditions that may burden organizers.
Members of the public and visitors (including residents of urban communities) can attend a public Holocaust remembrance ceremony in Emancipation Hall on April 23, 2025, preserving public commemoration traditions and community access to national memorial events.
The Architect of the Capitol will require and oversee event preparations to meet safety and facility standards, reducing risks of damage or safety issues during the ceremony and protecting participants and the facility.
Use of Emancipation Hall and Capitol Visitor Center staff time for the ceremony may displace other events or require reallocating staff and space, affecting scheduling and operations for other users of the facility.
Organizers (including nonprofits) must follow Architect-prescribed conditions for the event, which can impose logistical constraints and additional costs on those planning or funding the ceremony.
