International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Each year on January 27, we come together to honor the memory of the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were systematically murdered during the Holocaust, as well as the millions of others who suffered persecution, violence, and death under the Nazi regime and its collaborators during World War II. This day serves as a time of remembrance, reflection, and education, ensuring that the stories of those who endured unimaginable suffering are never forgotten.
This date was chosen because it marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp, where over a million people lost their lives. Remembering this day helps us confront the consequences of antisemitism, hatred, prejudice, and discrimination. It reminds us how dangerous silence and indifference can be. Holocaust Remembrance Day invites us not only to look back at history, but also to examine our present and future, to speak up against justice when it appears.
As we remember the victims of the Holocaust, we also recognize our shared responsibility to preserve historical truth, to educate future generations, and to stand firmly against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hatred in our world today. By doing so, we honor the memory of those who were lost. Their stories live on through us.
NEVER FORGET. NEVER AGAIN.
