The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.
As we are witnessing an alarming rise in antisemitism around the globe, it is important to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors.
