Liberation75
Liberation75: The Global Gathering of Holocaust Survivors, Descendants, Educators and Friends, is a once-in-a-lifetime event which will be held in Toronto from May 31-June 2, 2020, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of liberation from the Holocaust.
Liberation75 will focus on remembering the victims, honouring the survivors, showcasing the future of Holocaust education, reflecting on antisemitism in the world, celebrating the role of the liberators, and committing to protecting freedom, diversity, human rights and inclusion. We anticipate thousands of attendees from around the world.
Liberation75 is partnering with over 85 global organizations to showcase best-in-class Holocaust and anti-genocide education, awareness and remembrance, including interactive exhibits, presentations, panel discussions, films, artistic representations, music and more. All programming will focus on keeping the Holocaust relevant for future generations.
