The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.  It is a day to reflect on and honor the lives of Europe’s Jews and other victims of Nazi persecution, and individuals who chose to help.

Listen to the moving story of a young girl who learns of her grandfather’s experience in Auschwitz and then helps him overcome his sensitivity about the number on his arm.

Additional ways to remember can be found at the Unites States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
