International Holocaust Remembrance Day is January 27.
On my website, there are 170+ links to learn about the Holocaust.
Site languages include English, Hebrew, French, German,
Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
https://jr.co.il/hotsites/holocaust.htm
Since I created the page in 1997, I have been updating it
at least 2 times a year: before International Holocaust
Remembrance Day - January 27 and before
Yom HaShoah - this year on April 14, 2026.
If a site listed is no longer online, I try to find an archive copy of
the site in archive.org.
Over 22 years ago, in September 2003, IAF jets flew over Auschwitz
to commemorate holocaust victims. Images and a video of the
event are posted at:
https://jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/f15-jets-over-auschwitz.htm
Please share this message. Thank you.
We must not forget.
