INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONIES HOW TO

Volunteers all over the world can participate in the #everynamecounts challenge between January 23 and 29 as a form of active remembrance of the victims of Nazi persecution. The goal of the online challenge is to type out information about former prisoners of the Stutthof concentration camp from 30,000 prisoner cards. The Arolsen Archives are announcing a new #everynamecounts challenge to take place on and around International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The opening event will be broadcast live via Yad Vashem's website and Facebook Page (via UNTV). Empty pages at the end of the Book leave room for over a million names of Holocaust victims still to be recovered. The names in the Book have been meticulously gathered over the past 70 years by Yad Vashem from a range of sources, including Pages of Testimony. The new ' Book of Names of Holocaust Victims' is a monumental installation (2 meters high, 8 meters long and a meter deep) – a literal book with tangible, searchable pages containing the alphabetically arranged names of 4,800,000 Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazi Germans and their collaborators during the Holocaust.

A very special event is the “Book of Names” opening at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on 26 January 2023. You can find more resources on this webpage. On 24 January, a new exhibition was opened in the Bundestag in Berlin, ' Sixteen Objects from Yad Vashem,' the first of its kind in which all the items included are connected to one specific country. The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel has several resources that will help to commemorate.

To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2023, we’ve gathered some of these events to give an impression of how to commemorate this day. The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure has 27 partner institutions that commemorate this day with specific events and activities, appropriate for the country they are located in. The UN designated 27 January (the liberation of Auschwitz) as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2005, the United Nations established an international day of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
