International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Designated by a United Nations General Assembly resolution from 2005, 27 January is observed as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Designated by a United Nations General Assembly resolution from 2005, 27 January is observed as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, when we commemorate the victims of a genocide in which six million Jews lost their lives. January 27 is the day when in 1945, the largest Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was liberated.

By marking this day, we reject any Holocaust denial and condemn all forms of intolerance, threats and violence towards persons of communities based on their ethnicity or religious beliefs.

As a member of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, Croatia has been recognized as a country active in Holocaust education, research and commemoration, in order to raise awareness about these atrocities in future generations so they would never happen again.
