January 27th is recognized as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This day honours the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, along with the millions of others who were persecuted, and marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945. It is a time to reflect, remember, and reaffirm our shared responsibility to stand against hatred, antisemitism, and discrimination in all its forms.
On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp – where more than one million people were sent to gas chambers and to their agonizing deaths during the Holocaust – was liberated. In 2005, that day was designated as the annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. Each year, Canadians and individuals all over the world take this opportunity to remember the victims of the atrocities of the Holocaust and reflect on the dangers of anti-Semitism.
