Torkin Manes Acknowledges International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Every year on January 27, Torkin Manes joins communities around the world to take time to remember one of the most memorable and poignant days in history – the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of the largest Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Established in 2005 by the United Nations, International Holocaust Remembrance Day provides an opportunity to honour the memory of the six million Jews and other targeted minorities who were murdered in the Holocaust. With antisemitism rising globally, the Day’s importance has resonance now more than ever.
