USC Shoah Foundation Commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day
On January 27, 1945, Allied Forces liberated the camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Each year on this anniversary, the world observes International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion for us all to affirm our commitment to Holocaust remembrance and education and to a world that respects and knows the histories of the victims and survivors of this terrible crime.
Fighting antisemitism and preserving the memory of the Holocaust: advances in Greece and Europe?
Please join the USC Shoah Foundation and our partners at UCLA as we hear from Dr. Leon Saltiel who will focus on the challenges of grappling with the past and with current antisemitism.
Dr. Robert Williams, executive director of the USC Shoah Foundation, described the event as more than a traditional memorial. "Unlike reading a book or watching a movie, music has a way to evoke a different set of emotions when you are dealing with complicated subjects," he said.
Jewish Languages Today
Join Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor as she discusses the historical events that have led to major changes in the linguistic profile of Jewish communities around the world.
‘How Can They Find You If You Don’t Exist?’
Join us for a talk examining the strategies of concealment described in the USC Shoah Foundation testimonies of Jewish refugees who made the journey to Japan to escape Nazi persecution in the early 1940s.
Remembering those we lost in 2024
