The VHEC is partnering with local and national online events in commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Please visit our website for more information:

The United Nations designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD) to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and to honour the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazism.

The purpose of IHRD is two-fold: to serve as a date for official commemoration of the victims of the Nazi regime and to promote Holocaust education throughout the world to help prevent future genocides.
