Am Shalom Congregation, 767 Huronia Rd, Barrie, on Saturday January 25th at 1:00pm is having a special Holocaust Remembrance day Book Talk with renowned Canadian journalist John Lorinc, author of "No Jews Live Here"
On January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp – where more than one million people were sent to gas chambers and to their agonizing deaths during the Holocaust – was liberated. In 2005, that same day was designated as the annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. Each year, Canadians and individuals all over the world take this opportunity to remember the victims of the atrocities of the Holocaust and reflect on the dangers of Anti-Semitism.
