27 January 2025, 7pm at the Danish Jewish Museum
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most infamous concentration camps created during the Second World War. In Denmark, Auschwitz Day is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Shoah and other genocides, in order to perpetuate the memory but also to prevent such risks for future generations. At 7pm, Janus Moller Jensen, Director of the Danish Jewish Museum, welcomes the participants. This was followed by speeches from Peter Hummelgaard, Minister of Justice, a representative of the Danish Jewish community and the ambassadors of Poland, Israel and Great Britain. There will also be testimonies from survivors and historians, and lightings.
