International Holocaust Remembrance Day
27 January, the day that Auschwitz was liberated in 1945, was established by the United Nations as an international day of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
Jews from across Europe were deported to the camp. Upon arrival, they underwent a selection process. Most were sent directly to the gas chambers, and a small number were selected for forced labor, either within the main camp or in Auschwitz’s sub-camps. Some prisoners were also subjected to brutal medical experiments.
The vision and the challenges involved in creating this permanent exhibition at Auschwitz-Birkenau, dedicated to preserving the memory of Holocaust victims.
Commemoration of Jewish Communities
Using light, music and color, the show depicts the spiritual, cultural and everyday life in the Jewish communities, spanning the years from the destruction of the Second Temple until World War II.
For centuries, Jewish communities flourished in Europe and enjoyed a vibrant cultural, social and religious life. Read here about their stories, symbolic of the dynamic, multi-faceted Jewish world that was, and is no more.
