Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking the 81st anniversary since the liberation of Auschwitz, by Soviet troops on 27 January 1945. Today, we remember those that struggled to survive, to outlive evil, and to overcome horrors no one should ever experience. Today, we honour those whose lives were taken too soon, and those that survived and thrived in the aftermath of the nightmare they endured. Today, and everyday, we say Never Again.
On Tuesdays at the Cummings Centre, Cafe Europa hosts a morning for Holocaust survivors. We encourage you to volunteer one day, and bear witness to their survival but more importantly, to their joy in being together in a place that embraces them.
