COMMEMORATING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF LIBERATION

January 27th marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, an event that will be commemorated all over the world. Although liberation was a turning point, it was not the “happy ending” that we tend to think it was. There were complex emotional ramifications for the Jewish survivors as well as for the Allied soldiers who liberated the camps following the Nazis’ defeat. Lori Gerson, a Yad Vashem educator, will discuss liberation and the survivors’ “return to life,” including the physical, emotional and psychological obstacles they still had to overcome. We will also discuss the liberators’ reactions, and the displaced persons camps established after the war.
