International Holocaust Remembrance Day
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is honoured every year on January 27. The date was chosen because it was on that day in 1945 that Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated.
We’ve put together a list of books and movies to look at to expand your knowledge of the Holocaust. Many of these materials focus on the Jewish experience but there were many other minority groups that were also targeted during the Holocaust.
