27 January - Holocaust Remembrance Day

On January 27, we want to reflect on the power of remembrance. 80 years after Soviet soldiers opened the gates of Auschwitz, we have to keep reminding ourselves what “never again” truly means. Books, documentaries and art offer us the power not only to look back, but also to look to the future and ask ourselves what kind of world we want to create.
