International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The United Nations General Assembly designated Jan. 27 - the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau - as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides. The University of Tulsa honors this day and is grateful to Kelli McLoud-Schingen, vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion, and Miriam Belmaker, professor of anthropology, for sharing this message of remembrance and hope.
