On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we solemnly recall the atrocities of the past.

Originating from the United Nations and observed annually on Jan. 27, this day commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945, where over a million lives were tragically lost.

Designated in 2005, it serves as a global day of reflection on the Holocaust, urging us to remember its victims, amongst them six million Jewish people and at least five million prisoners of war, and confront the dangers of anti-Semitism.

The University of Windsor remains committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. There are numerous resources and supports in place, including counseling services, student organizations and faculty and staff members who are available to provide support and information.
