Upcoming Days of Significance

1. International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust

The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.

Mackenzie has also put together the following links for resources to recognize the importance of acknowledging the importance of Holocaust and Genocide Education Awareness.

2. Tamil Heritage Month

We are proud to recognize Tamil Heritage Month at the TDSB to honor the history, culture, traditions and contributions of the Tamil community in Toronto. The TDSB has provided student information resources as part of this Heritage Month.
