For Odette School of Business professor Dr. Kyle Brykman, International Holocaust Remembrance Day is about remembrance and responsibility.
Observed annually on Jan. 27—the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp—International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorates the six million Jews whose lives were lost and promotes education and global action against hatred, intolerance and antisemitism.
