Holocaust Remembrance Event

The UNESCO Center for Global Friendship, Inc. (UCGF), conjointly with the Fairfield Public Library, the Jewish Historical Society of Fairfield County and the Federation for Jewish Philanthropy of Upper Fairfield County, will hold an event honoring the victims of the Holocaust on Monday, January 27, 2020, 6:00 p.m. at the Fairfield Public Library Main Branch, in Connecticut.

This commemoration will feature the free screening of the film Who Will Write Our History. It documents not only how the Jews of the ghetto died, but also how they lived. Live testimonies and discussions will follow the movie. Refreshments will be served as well.

“As this date marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the UNESCO Center for Global Friendship wants to stand firmly against antisemitism, racism, and other forms of bigotry that can lead to group-targeted violence,” explains Angelucci Manigat, Jr., the Executive Director of UCGF.  “ All our programs aim to foster cultural awareness, mutual respect, solidarity and intellectual honesty to make the world a better place,” adds Manigat.

The UNESCO Center for Global Friendship, Inc. is a 501(C) (3) non-profit organization, officially recognized by the U.S. Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers and Associations. It develops free cultural programs for U.S. libraries, and provides educational materials and professional assistance to libraries in the Caribbean and Latin America.
