To honour the memory of the six million Jewish children, women, and men murdered by the Nazis, the United Nations designated January 27 International Holocaust Remembrance Day. So we can collectively mark this important occasion, the World Jewish Congress launched the We Remember campaign.
Join millions around the world and photograph yourself holding a sign that says #WeRemember <[link removed]> and post it to social media. Many of the images will be projected on a screen at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In Canada, as part of the #WeRemember campaign, monuments and public buildings, such as the National Holocaust Monument, BC Place, the CN Tower, and Niagara Falls, will be bathed in yellow light to remember the six million Jewish souls lost during the Shoah. Together, let us pause and renew our collective vow: Never Again.

CIJA has been actively calling for increased investment by the government of Canada in the security of the Jewish community in Canada, including the establishment of a Community Security Trust (CST) modeled after the CST in the U.K. and enhancement of the Security Infrastructure Program, which would benefit all at-risk minorities in this country.
