International Holocaust Remembrance Day Concert

This year marks the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. 

On January 27th, 1945, Allied troops entered the Auschwitz concentration camp complex, liberating the more than 7,000 prisoners still living. More than 1.1 million people had already died in Auschwitz – nearly one million of whom were Jews.  

January 27th – the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau – is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. 

On Sunday, January 26th, the Museum will commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a chamber music concert, featuring a string sextet from the Manhattan Chamber Players. The concert will commemorate all those who perished in the Holocaust and celebrate the resilience of Jewish music and culture.  

This program is made possible in part through a partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
