2024 Days of Remembrance Commemoration
Next week (May 5-12) begins the 2024 Days of Remembrance, the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust, established by Congress to honor victims and survivors.
The Days of Remembrance Commemoration will take place in the US Capitol’s Emancipation Hall on Tuesday, May 7 at 11:00 A.M ET. The ceremony will be livestreamed here.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum makes resources available for groups planning to host such an observance including suggested readings, poster sets, videos, sample proclamations and more.
As a retired school librarian and Holocaust educator, I continue to support colleagues engaged in teaching this important and timely subject. I am glad to provide an updated Holocaust Learning Resources list with information about other Holocaust Remembrance observances taking place this month and throughout the year.
Thank you for your interest and support.

The American Association of School Librarians also makes available suggested resources for Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) as part of its Advocacy/School Library Promotional Events page.
On a personal note, I am grateful to ALA for including a link to the article Never a Bystander & Other Enduring Lessons for Holocaust Remembrance which I wrote for Knowledge Quest and which highlights the most inspiring story of Holocaust survivor Dr. Irene Butter.
At age 93, Dr. Butter continues to be a true upstander, speaking regularly to students and adults and reminding us to take action so as to bring about meaningful change.
