Examine ‘The History of Auschwitz’ at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch

BRICK TOWNSHIP – Today it is a memorial and museum, but its infamy is indelible. Join us for “The History of Auschwitz: An 80th Anniversary Presentation” at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch, 2:30 PM Tuesday, January 28.

Members of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education will offer a powerful, reflective presentation to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi regime’s largest concentration camp, honor the victims, explore lessons learned, and underscore the importance of remembrance against ongoing challenges to human rights and dignity.

Through survivor testimonies, expert analysis and archival film footage, you’ll become familiar with the camp’s origins, its role during the Holocaust, and its lasting impact on global history.

The site in southern Poland is open to the public as the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, with artifacts, memorabilia and programs serving as reminders of the horrors that took the lives of more than one million men, women and children.

The Commission designs, offers and promotes Holocaust awareness programs, coordinates commemorative events, monitors the status of Holocaust and genocide education in New Jersey and assists public and private schools and organizations in related studies.
