International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Renewed Commitment Through Innovation and Cooperation

Join the EU Affairs team of B’nai B’rith International in marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day – 76 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. In a world with fewer and fewer survivors, and following a year that has challenged our understanding of connectedness, we focus on innovation and cooperation as two key drivers of remembrance.
