International Holocaust Remembrance Day Webinar
2026-01-27 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual, CT, United States
We invite you to join us for a virtual event commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day, featuring a discussion between National Education Association President Becky Pringle and Jewish Council for Public Affairs CEO Amy Spitalnick on January 27, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET.
Learning and teaching about the horrors of the Holocaust is not just about remembering history; it’s about making sure that no people will ever again suffer the dehumanization, violence, and killings born of antisemitism and prejudice. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, NEA and JCPA are coming together to remember the victims of the Holocaust – the six million Jews and the millions of others who were systematically persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime. And we are marking this day because antisemitism and harassment continue posing real and growing threats to Jewish students and educators.
