International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the HolocaustInternational Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust is a global observance recognized by the United Nations with a focus on honouring the six million Jews, alongside countless Romani people, Poles, disabled individuals, and other targeted groups, who lost their lives during the Holocaust. The day serves a dual purpose. It acts as a solemn memorial to those who died, while simultaneously ensuring the horror of the Holocaust is never forgotten in order to prevent such atrocities from reoccurring. The date was officially established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, 60 years after the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. In Canada, this commemoration holds special significance. The country became home to more than 40,000 Holocaust survivors in the aftermath of World War II, enriching the Canadian cultural fabric but also creating a community deeply affected by this tragic history. Now, it serves as a day for Canadians to remember and reflect upon the implications of hate, discrimination, and genocide. In Canada, the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust is marked with various ceremonies and educational activities. Communities gather to respectfully commemorate the victims, host Holocaust exhibits, and conduct educational programs to raise awareness about this dark chapter in history. The observance is recognized annually on January 27, in alignment with the global commemorations. This day provides an opportunity for Canadians to reaffirm a collective commitment to upholding human rights and practicing tolerance and respect. Facts about Victims of the Holocaust
