About this event
The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges people to honor the over six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism.
Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers, where over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives.
In her latest book, Dara Horn explores a pointed question: Why do people seem to love dead Jews, but not living ones? The Holocaust continues to make headlines and fill our films and fiction. Yet ignorance and indifference towards Jew-hatred seems to be higher than ever. Join Dara as she discusses what exactly is going on here.
In partnership with the Calgary Jewish Federation and Edmonton Public Library.
