International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked on this day, January 27th, is a day to remember and honor the victims of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews along with millions of other minority groups were murdered by the Nazi regime during World War II. The day serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during this period of history and the importance of promoting tolerance and preventing future acts of genocide. It also serves as a call to action to continue to work towards ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated.
Irvington will be acknowledging this important day by lighting the Village Hall clock tower yellow.
