Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.

"These young people and others will be able to carry the stories forward for generations to come and keep the memories of the 6 million alive"

'As survivors become older, fewer, frailer, and less able to tell their stories, they are relying on all of us to take on the mantle of remembrance.'
