International Holocaust Memorial Day is a United Nations observance that commemorates the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. The date marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945 and serves as a solemn reminder of the consequences of antisemitism, racism, hatred, and genocide. The day encourages remembrance, education, and a commitment to protecting human dignity and preventing future atrocities.
