Theme: Songs for International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day falls on January 27 – the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. In these times of exploding antisemitism and other forms of racism and hatred, it’s important for us to pause and remember the lessons of the Holocaust when Hitler’s Nazi Germany systematically murdered 6 million Jews – about two-thirds of the Jews who lived in Europe.
