Description:
Marking the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, International Holocaust Remembrance Day allows us to reflect upon the profound tragedy of the Holocaust while coming together to share a moment of peace and hope for the future. This year’s commemoration will feature a screening of Defiant Requiem, a poignant documentary that tells the remarkable story of a group of Jewish prisoners who, despite the horrors of the Holocaust, found hope and resilience through the transformative power of music. Directed by Douglas J. Cohen, the film illuminates the true story of the Jewish prisoners in the Terezin Concentration Camp who staged a performance of Verdi's "Requiem," defying their Nazi captors and reclaiming their humanity through art. Holocaust historian Alexandra Zapruder will also join us to share insights into the enduring power of art and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
There is no cost to attend this event, but registration is recommended. To register, click the "buy" button. If you would like to tour the Museum, you will need to reserve a separate ticket here.

Description:
For years, they could not speak about the Holocaust. Teenagers Ruth Cohen, Steven Fenves, and Irene Weiss were deported in crowded cattle cars to Auschwitz-Birkenau with 430,000 other Jews from Hungary in mid-1944. Moments after arriving, their families were torn apart. They endured starvation and other barbaric abuse, surrounded by the smoke and ashes of innocent men, women, and children who were murdered by the Nazis.
Eighty years after Auschwitz was liberated, we invite you to hear Ruth, Steven, and Irene recount their harrowing experiences at one of the deadliest Nazi camps and what contributed to their remarkable survival.
GuestLindsay MacNeill, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
HostDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
Join us for an evening of remembrance and reflection as The National WWII Museum commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
We will be joined by Holocaust survivor Jack Cohen. Cohen was born in 1932 in Chalcis, Greece. After Germany and its allies invaded Greece in 1941, Cohen's family kept a low profile until the Nazis began arresting Greek Jews in 1943. Cohen and his family went into hiding, sheltering at a Greek Orthodox monastery for nearly two years.
Before the program, join us for a reception to explore photojournalist Erez Kaganovitz's storytelling project Humans of the Holocaust. The project pairs compelling contemporary photos of Holocaust survivors with their own remarkable life stories. The poignant and powerful photographs and personal accounts captured by Kaganovitz, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, offer a fresh perspective about the experiences of Holocaust survivors. Humans of the Holocaust explores individual stories that show how the human spirit can overcome even the most inhumane circumstances. The project is on display at The National WWII Museum from January 13–31, 2025.

Description:
January 27, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. With so few survivors and eyewitnesses left to share their stories of survival and resilience, Holocaust memorial museums will become even more critical educational spaces. In commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, join Dr. Amy Sodaro, author of Exhibiting Atrocity: Memorial Museums and the Politics of Past Violence (2018), for a discussion about the evolving ways in which the Holocaust is represented in museums and the challenges ahead in communicating this history to new generations.
This event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and is co-sponsored by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Reiff Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution at Christopher Newport University; the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University; the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha; the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University; the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Center for the Study of Genocide & Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Holocaust Museum & Center For Tolerance and Education at Rockland Community College; and the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University.
