Since 2005 people all over the world take the time to honour Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27.
Belle Jarniewski is the Executive Director of the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada in Winnipeg, and she is also a member of Canada s delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. This day was designated by the United Nations since 2005.
