Mayor Barbara Foushee has proclaimed Tuesday, Jan. 27, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
The purpose of International Holocaust Remembrance Day is to serve as a date of the official commemoration of the victims of the Nazi regime, and to promote Holocaust education throughout the world.
The day commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Mayor Foushee encourages all community members to reflect on the need for respect of all peoples, and to overcome intolerance and indifference through learning and remembrance.
