The Holocaust is most prominently marked and memorialized at places like Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau… but more than one-third of the 6 million Jewish victims were executed in the fields, forests, and ravines of the former Soviet Union and other countries of central Europe. And yet, these stories are too rarely told and recognized.
On this Day of Remembrance, we will hear from Ewa Schaller, Ph.D, from Yahad-In Unum about her personal experiences uncovering eye-witness stories in Ukraine, even decades later, and about the current and ongoing war-crimes investigations in Ukraine.
Free; preregister. Donations welcome.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day: January 27 was designated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005. It marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Every year, the Holocaust Center for Humanity holds a community program to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Thank you to our partners: The Museum of Flight and Yahad In-Unum
