Meanwhile, on Saturday, January 27, at 8:00 p.m.—the date marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day—the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Ana Ribeiro, will deliver a message on behalf of the Executive Branch via a nationwide radio and television broadcast.

On November 1, 2005, the United Nations General Assembly decided to designate January 27 as the annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

On that date in 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Nazi concentration and extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
