Switzerland commemorates the victims of the Holocaust
On 27 January, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, the world commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. For Switzerland, too, the international day of remembrance is an occasion to remember the horrors of the Holocaust and to increase awareness of the consequences of racism and discrimination. As a member of the intergovernmental organisation the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), Switzerland is committed to promoting education and teaching about the Holocaust to younger generations.
