National Archives News: Holocaust Remembrance Day
Link to print articles.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2021, with two digital events on this playlist. While the Museum is closed due to the coronavirus, this day is a no-less-important moment to remember and learn.

January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a date designated by the United Nations to honor the memory of Europe’s Jews, who were targeted for annihilation. The memories of the Holocaust survivors featured here have been a part of the Museum’s main exhibition since it opened in 1993. Their timeless reflections remind us all of our responsibility to confront hatred and defend the truth—now more than ever.

#WeRemember at 9:30 a.m. ET with a conversation with Susan Eisenhower, discussing her grandfather, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and his foresight that people would one day deny the Holocaust. And at 1 p.m. ET, the Museum’s annual commemoration will feature Holocaust survivors and leaders, who will convey the urgent responsibility we all share to protect the lessons and truth of this history.
