International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27

Since 2005, this annual day of commemoration designated by the U.N. marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, honoring the victims of Nazism and also supporting education to prevent future genocides.

For more than twenty years, the Herbert and Leonard Littman Families Holocaust Resource Center (HRC) at the Bildner Center has been a leader in Holocaust education. By offering free professional development for public school teachers in Holocaust history and pedagogy, the Center has a major impact on thousands of students in New Jersey and beyond.
