On November 1, 2005, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 60\/7 to designate January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The date marks the liberation<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/strong><\/span><\/a>and<\/strong><\/span> is meant to honor the victims of Nazism. The same resolution supports the development of educational programs to remember the Holocaust<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and to prevent further genocide<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Resolution 60\/7 not only establishes January 27 as \u201cInternational Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust,\u201d it also rejects any form of Holocaust denial<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span> The resolution encourages member states of the UN to actively preserve sites that the Nazis used during the “Final Solution” (for example, killing centers, concentration camps, and prisons.) Drawing from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the resolution condemns all forms of \u201creligious intolerance, incitement, harassment or violence against persons or communities based on ethnic origin or religious belief\u201d throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commemoration Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first commemoration ceremony was held on January 27, 2006, at the UN Headquarters in New York City. Nearly 2,200 people attended in person. Since the ceremony was broadcast live on television, many more people were able to view it throughout the world. The UN Headquarters holds official commemorations each year. UN offices across the world and other state offices also conduct their own ceremonies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2010, the UN has designated specific themes for the annual commemorations.1<\/a><\/sup> That year, the central theme revolved around Holocaust survivors and the lessons they pass on to future generations. The 2011 theme focused on the experiences of women. The 2012 theme was \u201cChildren<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and the Holocaust\u201d and highlighted the effects of mass violence on children. In 2013, remembrance events centered on individuals and groups who risked their lives \u201cto save<\/a> tens of thousands of Jews, Roma and Sinti<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and others from near certain death under the Nazi regime during the Second World War<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Europe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2014 theme focused on journeys through the Holocaust\u2014from deportation<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to liberation<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. In 2015, the central idea was how the experiences of the Holocaust shaped the founding of the UN. The 2016 theme explored the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ connection to the Holocaust. 2017’s theme emphasized “Holocaust education as a platform for building respect for human rights, increasing tolerance and defending our common humanity.” In 2018, the theme was “Holocaust Remembrance and Education: Our Shared Responsibility.” <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, 39 countries participated in International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration ceremonies. Remembrance activities varied by country. Some hosted lectures and presentations on different topics, while others showed films and documentaries on the Holocaust. Other countries lit candles or read the names of victims of the Nazi regime.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to observing International Holocaust Remembrance Day, many of the participating countries have established their own remembrance days that are often connected to events from the Holocaust. For example, Argentina legislated April 19, the day of the Warsaw ghetto uprising<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, as the national Day for Cultural Diversity. Hungary designated April 16 as National Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the establishment of the ghetto in Munk\u00e1cs. In 1979, the United States Congress established Days of Remembrance that usually take place between April and early May to commemorate victims of the Nazi regime. The US Days of Remembrance correspond to Yom Ha-Shoah, Israel’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Day.<\/span><\/p>\n
