International Holocaust Remembrance Day - Together we stand. Together We Remember.

29 January 2025

As Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel said “For the dead and the living, we must bear witness”.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, we honor the memory of the six million Jewish lives brutally murdered by the Nazis and the resilience of the survivors who ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten.

Today, the SAJBD’s national Chairperson Prof Karen Milner and Vice President Mary Kluk stood with Holocaust survivor Ruth Cohen at the entrance to Auschwitz Birkeneau as she returned to the concentration camp 80 years later.

Together we stand. Together We Remember.
