//For English see below//. Den 27. januar er den internationale Holocaust-mindedag, som markeres i FN, EU, rundt omkring i Europa og andre steder i verden. På Auschwitz-dagen i Danmark mindes vi ofre for Holocaust og andre folkedrab.
I 2025 markeres 80-året for befrielsen af KZ-Auschwitz-Birkenau, en af de mest berygtede koncen-trationslejre oprettet under Anden Verdenskrig. Den 27. januar 1945 gik sovjetiske styrker ind i lejren og afslørede Holocausts gruopvækkende virkelighed. Denne dag markerede et afgørende vende-punkt, hvor verden for alvor begyndte at forstå det fulde omfang af de grusomheder, der var blevet begået af det nazistiske regime. Det er afgørende vigtigt at holde fast i erindringen om Holocaust ikke mindst i en tid, hvor de sidste vidner stille forsvinder og vi overtager ansvaret for at fortælle hi-storien og holde mindet i live for fremtidige generationer.
Programmet i år vil inkludere vidnesbyrd fra Holocaust og det bosniske folkedrab, oplæg fra Solvej Berlau, medforfatter til bogen "Vejen til folkedrab. Før, under og efter Holocaust", tale ved repræsentant fra den danske regering, ambassadører fra Polen, Israel og Storbritannien, samt musikindslag og en lystændingsceremoni. Arrangementet finder sted i Dronningesalen på Det Kongelige Bibliotek, Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, 1221 København K, den 27. januar 2025 kl. 19.00 - 21.00.
Dørene åbnes 60 minutter før begivenheden, og det anbefales at ankomme tidligt af hensyn til praktiske forhold såsom sikkerhed.
