On Sunday 26 January, President Higgins will deliver the keynote address at the Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration.
The annual Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration cherishes the memory of all who perished in the Holocaust. It recalls six million Jewish men, women and children and millions of others who were persecuted and murdered by the Nazis because of their ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliations or their religious beliefs.
This year’s Holocaust Commemoration is marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
