2025 Days of Remembrance Commemoration

The US Congress established Days of Remembrance as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust. The Museum leads the national ceremony in the US Capitol and encourages observances throughout the country. At this dangerous time of surging antisemitism, it is more important than ever that we gather to remember the victims and honor the survivors. 

Together with Holocaust survivors, on April 23 we remembered their loved ones—and the millions of other victims, many of whom have no one to honor their memory. The one-hour program featured keynote speaker Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and remarks from Holocaust survivor Abraham Foxman, a performance by the US Army Band, and a tribute to liberating divisions and the role American liberators played in witnessing Nazi crimes 80 years ago.
