Today marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating 81 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Nazi Germany’s largest death camp, by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945.
The day, established by the United Nations, honours the millions of Jews and other victims murdered by the Nazi regime during the Second World War.
Holocaust survivors, political leaders, and community members gathered at events across Europe and North America to remember the victims and reflect on the lessons of history.
Our BCN’s Heidi Echavarria spoke with a member of Lethbridge’s Jewish community.
