What is International Holocaust Remembrance Day?

International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27 was designated by the UN General Assembly in 2005 and first observed in 2006, on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. It honours the six million Jews murdered by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution, including Roma, disabled people and political prisoners. Governments, schools and museums mark the day with ceremonies, survivor testimonies, candle lighting and lessons that warn against antisemitism, hatred and denial.
