Holocaust Education Bill Signed Into Law In New York State

Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Holocaust Education Bill into law at a special ceremony at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City. The bill, S.121B, by NYS Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) and Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Fresh Meadows), would ensure that students across New York are receiving education on the Holocaust as required by existing State law. The bill passed the New York State Senate and Assembly with unanimous support in May, and having now been signed into law, takes effect immediately.

Senator Anna M. Kaplan said “With antisemitism on the rise, and Holocaust misinformation exploding around the world, it’s never been more important that we learn the lessons of the Holocaust, and ensure our next generation knows about our history, no matter how dark or difficult the conversation may be. It’s why I’ve fought tirelessly to pass the Holocaust Education Bill, so that we can ensure this vital history is being taught to students in New York, and so that we may never forget what happened. I’m so grateful for my partnership with Assemblymember Nily Rozic, for the leadership of Governor Kathy Hochul, and for the countless advocates and organizations who fought alongside me since day one of this important effort.”

Consul General of Israel in New York Ambassador Asaf Zamir said, “This historic bill to further Holocaust education will cast light where there is now darkness, empathy where there is terrifying ignorance. Knowledge of the largest scale operation of persecution and genocide is waning, and hate has risen unchecked for too long. Protecting our history is important to the survival of not only every group targeted by genocidal fascism, but to sustaining the health of democracy itself. We thank Senator Anna Kaplan, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and Governor Kathy Hochul for advocating to not only survey the state of Holocaust education in schools, but to facilitate its continued improvement and address its worrying decline amongst today’s youth.”

A recent study by the nonprofit Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) revealed disturbing findings about Holocaust knowledge among New Yorkers ages 18-39, including that 58 percent cannot name a single concentration camp, 19 percent believe that Jews caused the Holocaust, and 28 percent believe the Holocaust is a myth or has been exaggerated. In each of these three metrics, New York had the worst score of any state in the US.

The new law written by Senator Kaplan and Assemblywoman Rozic that was signed will address the problem by ensuring that New York students are learning about the Holocaust in school, something that 90 percent of the general population considers ‘important’ or ‘somewhat important’ according to a recent study by the American Jewish Committee (AJC).

The law authorizes the State Education Department to conduct a survey of schools to identify which schools are teaching about the Holocaust. The survey is required to be attested to by the Superintendent of Schools that they are teaching about the Holocaust appropriately at each grade level. The survey will have questions on how the district is meeting learning standards about the Holocaust, and each school district that does not attest that they are meeting the standards will be required to issue a corrective action plan on how they plan to comply with standards. Findings of the survey will be made available to legislative leaders.

CEO of UJA-Federation of New York Eric S. Goldstein said, “It has never been more important for students in New York to learn about the atrocities of the Holocaust. This legislation authorizes the State Education Department to conduct a survey identifying which schools are teaching this required subject matter and is a crucial step in ensuring that the critical lessons of the Holocaust are transmitted across our community. UJA-Federation of New York thanks Governor Hochul for signing this significant legislation into law, and for the tireless efforts of Senator Kaplan and Assemblywoman Rozic to make sure this bill passed the Legislature.”

Jewish Community Relations Council CEO Gideon Taylor said, “At a time where 60 percent of New Yorkers aged 18 to 39 are unaware that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis, I congratulate Governor Kathy Hochul for her leadership and for signing historic legislation today that ensures our children will Never Forget the bitter lessons of the Holocaust. Sincere gratitude goes to the authors of this legislation, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and Senator Anna Kaplan.”

Senator Anna Kaplan and colleagues join Governor Kathy Hochul as she signs the Holocaust Education Bill into law at a special ceremony at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NYC.

COLUMN Where’s Nassau’s Plan for Opioid Settlement Funds?

Nassau County’s ongoing mission to address the opioid addiction crisis is one of the most important and most heart-wrenching issues I contend with as a mother and the ranking member of the Nassau County Legislature’s Health & Social Services committee. It is a merciless and unforgiving scourge that has touched nearly all our lives.

As Nassau sits on tens of millions of settlement dollars from the nation’s largest opioid drug manufacturers and distributors, Suffolk has already announced plans for their share - a blueprint that was devised through the work of a transparent, bipartisan, and collaborative advisory panel. To date, Nassau County has offered little more than conceptual plans for using our share.

It is time to follow Suffolk County’s lead so that these funds can get into the hands of agencies and entities on the front lines of our response to the addiction crisis.

On July 26, Suffolk County announced that it would dedicate settlement funds received from opioid distributors AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., and McKesson Corporation to finance grants for drug treatment providers, community groups and County agencies for programs. These actions were based upon guidance from the Suffolk County Addiction Prevention and Support Advisory Panel, a body consisting of legislators, public health experts, recovery advocates and community leaders that was convened by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. The advisory panel also published a report describing how

FROM THE DESK OF

Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

future funds would be spent.

Meanwhile, in Nassau, we still lack a clear vision from County Executive Bruce Blakeman. According to annual reports from the Nassau County Comptroller’s office and the independent Office of Legislative Budget Review, the County has received $55.9 million, of which $15 million is restricted for use toward recovery, prevention, and education resources. None of these funds have been spent as of July 2022.

Since telling Newsday on April 19 that he would “meet with Barry Wilansky, his new director of substance abuse policy who has more than 30 years of experience in rehabilitation services, to identify the best way to spend the money,” County Executive Blakeman’s administration has not articulated a clearly defined strategy. To my knowledge, the administration has not engaged legislators or community stakeholders on best uses for these funds, either.

That is especially unfortunate when you consider how those resources could amplify the benefits of successful programs that are already running and those that could come soon. Nassau’s highly successful Operation: Natalie - which floods opioid “hot spots” in the County with enforcement, education, community outreach and treatment resources - is back up and running at full force after the pandemic. Legislation to provide Narcan to nightlife establishments statewide is on the Governor’s desk. In Nassau, my Minority Caucus colleagues and I are pushing for fentanyl testing strips to be added to the Narcan kits Nassau distributed as part of efforts to reduce the number of overdose deaths caused by fentanyl-laced drugs.

A collaborative and community-powered strategic plan for the use of Nassau County’s settlement funds would be another giant step forward in our mission to amplify and deliver the treatment, education and prevention services that will save lives and help residents free themselves from the grips of addiction. For the sake of all the people that we have lost and the families that continue to grapple with the horrors of this disease, we must not miss this opportunity.

Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, of Glen Cove, was first elected to the Nassau County Legislature in 2011. She represents the 11th District in the Nassau County Legislature.

PRIMARY RESULTS

Senator Anna M. Kaplan Declares Victory In 7th Senate District Primary

New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) declared victory Tuesday night in the Democratic primary for the 7th Senate District, which includes the North Shore of Nassau County. Having decisively won the primary, Kaplan will now go on to face a Republican opponent in the general election this November.

Senator Anna M. Kaplan said “I’m so humbled by the incredibly strong support my neighbors have shown for me in this race, and as we look ahead to the November general election, I’m eager to continue the work of bringing our community together to fight back against the rising tide of hate and extremism that’s desperately trying to take this seat away from us. At a time when a radical Supreme Court has demonstrated that they’re willing to overturn even the most sensible federal protections, we can’t afford to let extremist Republicans anywhere near the reins of power in our State government where they can continue their assault on women’s rights, common-sense gun safety reforms, and our American democracy.”

Robert Zimmerman Declares Victory In NY-3

Zimmerman: When Democrats Stand Together and Fight Together, We Deliver Results

“Our victory tonight proves that when Democrats stand together and fight together, we deliver results. George Santos and his radical anti-women, anti-civil rights agenda represent the opposite of everything I have stood for in my life and everything that defines our country. In Congress, I’ll fight to defend abortion rights, stop gun violence, protect civil rights, and make Long Island and Queens more affordable for middle-class families. I invite all Democrats, Independents and Republicans who share these values to join this campaign,” said Robert Zimmerman, Democratic Nominee in New York’s 3rd Congressional District. —Submitted by the office of Robert Zimmerman

Award-Winning Author David Laskin Book Discussion

Port Washington’s Dolphin Bookshop on Sunday, Sept. 11

David Laskin, a bestselling author based in Seattle, will be in Port Washington at 2 p.m on Sunday, Sept. 11, for a special event hosted by the Dolphin Bookshop. Born and raised in Great Neck, Laskin will talk about the “story behind the story” of his two most recent books – The Family (Penguin, 2013), a memoir, and his novel What Sammy Knew (Penguin, 2022), a coming-of-age story set on Long Island.

Hailed by the Star Tribune as “a hugely accomplished first novel about growing up fast amid personal strife and public upheaval,” What Sammy Knew tells the gripping story of a high school senior named Sammy Stein who runs away from his Long Island home and gets in way over his head in the tumult of the drug-soaked East Village in 1970.

“Almost memoirlike in its portrait of its specific time and place,” wrote the Seattle Times.

Laskin’s The Family, winner of the Washington State Book Award in nonfiction, follows the divergent journeys taken by the three branches of his mother’s family in the early 20th century: one branch immigrated from Eastern Europe to New York and founded the Maidenform Bra Company; the second branch participated in the birth of Israel as Zionist pioneers; the family members who remained behind in Belarus and Lithuania perished in the Holocaust. “At once anguishing and inspiring,” the Wall Street Journal concluded in a rave review.

Laskin, traveling to the East Coast to attend the 50th reunion of his class at the John L. Miller North Senior High School, will discuss how he evoked a bygone era in New York City and the suburbs. Copies of The Family and What Sammy Knew will be available for purchase.

The event is free and open to the public. The Dolphin Bookshop (www.TheDolphinBookshop.com; 516-767-2650) is located at 299 Main St. in Port Washington, NY. —Submitted by David Laskin

SNAP/TANF/FDPIR Households: Households that currently include children who receive the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but who are not found during the Direct Certification Matching Process (DCMP), or households that currently receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must complete an application listing the child’s name, a valid SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. Eligibility for free meal benefits based on participation in SNAP, TANF or FDPIR is extended to all children in the household. When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free meals based on their participation in the SNAP, TANF or the FDPIR programs. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school. Other Source Categorical Eligibility: When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals based on the individual child’s designation as Other Source Categorically Eligible, as defined by law. Children are determined Other Source Categorically Eligible if they are Homeless, Migrant, Runaway, A foster child, or Enrolled in Head Start or an eligible pre-kindergarten program. If children or households receive benefits under Assistance Programs or Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs and are not listed on the notice of eligibility and are not notified by the School Food Authority of their free meal benefits, the parent or guardian should contact the school or should submit an income application. Other Households: Households with income the same or below the amounts listed above for family size may be eligible for and are urged to apply for free and/or reduced price meals (or free milk). They may do so by completing the application sent home with the letter to parents. One application for all children in the household should be submitted. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year to Schreiber HS, Dept HPEA, 101 Campus Dr, Pt Washington, NY 11050.. Please contact 516-767-5990 with any questions regarding the application process. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Dr. Michael J. Hynes, Superintendent, whose address is 100 Campus Drive, Pt Washington, NY 11050 has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct.
