An Annual Commemoration
The United Nations has designated January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, as a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution.
We invite you to visit the Museum on January 27 to read names of Holocaust victims in the Hall of Remembrance from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (use your own list or one provided for you). You may also listen to others read names or light a memorial candle. Join us to remember the victims, honor the survivors, and reaffirm the lessons of the Holocaust.
