Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, International Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked on January 27 to remember the anniversary of the Liberation of the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp of Auschwitz-Birkeanau in 1945. It serves as a day to remember the victims of the Holocaust and reaffirm a lasting commitment to fight against antisemitism, racism, and all forms of intolerance that leads to group-targeted violence.
