The Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC) has compiled a list of commemorative dates and events that will take place throughout the course of the year. These events commemorate the Holocaust and various genocides. While some events are available to attend virtually, as we move through the COVID-19 pandemic, many events are now only being held in-person.
