Dear John,
This Monday, January 27, Canadian Jews will stand united with a global movement to remember the six million Jewish children, women, and men murdered in the Holocaust. This year, International Holocaust Remembrance Day <[link removed]> marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. We also remember, with gratitude, the Righteous Among the Nations for their courage and heroism.
Now more than ever, after 15 months of rising antisemitism, we must stand together against hatred in all its forms. International Holocaust Remembrance Day offers us a critical moment to reflect on the atrocities of the past and work toward a future where “Never Again” is more than a promise – it is a reality.
There are many ways to participate, including:
- Join the World Jewish Congress' (WJC) #WeRemember campaign <[link removed]>– the largest global Holocaust commemoration to honour the victims of the Shoah.It’s easy. Take a photo of yourself, your family, or your friends holding a ‘We Remember’ sign <[link removed]>, and share it on social media between now and January 27 using the hashtag #WeRemember. Tag @cijainfo and WJC (@worldjewishcong on X, @worldjewishcongress on Facebook and Instagram), and use these social captions <[link removed]>.
- Tune in, at 11 a.m. on January 27, tothe livestream <[link removed]>of the annual commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day at the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa.
- Look out for important landmark illuminations. On Monday night, dozens of Canadian sites, such as BC Place in Vancouver, Niagara Falls, and Toronto's CN Tower, will be illuminated in yellow – evoking candlelight to honour the victims and Survivors of the Holocaust. For a full list of the illuminated sites, click here <[link removed]>.
Together, let us renew our collective vow: Never Again.
