Den 27. januar er den internationale Holocaust-mindedag, som markeres i FN, EU, rundt omkring i Europa og andre steder i verden. På Auschwitz-dagen i Danmark mindes vi ofre for Holocaust og andre folkedrab.

I 2023 har Auschwitzdag særligt fokus på markeringen af 80-året for aktionen mod de danske jøder i oktober 1943 og dens vidtrækkende konsekvenser. 80-året vil desuden blive markeret ved en række andre arrangementer og aktiviteter i løbet af året. Det er en vigtig historie i en ellers mørk tid, som vil blive mindet i både en dansk og international sammenhæng.

Auschwitzdag finder sted fredag den 27. januar 2021 kl. 11-13 i Dronningesalen på Den Sorte Diamant.

Den internationale Auschwitz-dag er en mindedag, hvor der vil være vidnesbyrd både fra Holocaust og fra Stalinismens ofre, musik og lystænding.

// ENGLISH VERSION//

The 27th of January is a day for commemoration of the Holocaust. In this vein commemorations are held by the UN, EU, and countries around Europe as well as many other places in the world. In Denmark, this commemoration is referred to as Auschwitz-Day, where we remember the victims of Holocaust and other Genocides.

Once again, The Municipality of Copenhagen has entrusted the Danish Jewish Museum with the honor of organizing the International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2023 (in Denmark – Auschwitz Day).

2023 will mark the 80th year since and rescue the Danish Jews in October 1943. The flight of the Danish Jews to Sweden during World War II is one of the most dramatic events in recent Danish history. It is an event that has given Denmark a unique status in contemporary European and International history.

This year’s program will include speeches by a Danish minister, ambassadors from Sweden and The United States of America, and historian Simon Kratholm Ankjærgaard as well as music and a memorial ceremony.

The event will take place in Dronningesalen in The Black Diamond, Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, 1221 Copenhagen and online via the museum’s Facebook-profile and webpage (www.jewmus.dk). Based on our experiences from the previous years, we have put some extra effort into livestreaming the event and making it available online, to reach out to more people.
