Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a United Nations-designated memorial day observed annually on Jan. 27, the date Auschwitz was liberated in 1945.

These articles chronicle the ongoing effort to honor those we lost, and celebrate the survivors who carry on their memory — both of which have taken on new meaning since Oct. 7.
