Created by the United States Congress, Days of Remembrance is the nation's annual commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum organizes events nationwide, with this year's events planned for April 23 - April 30, with Holocaust Remembrance Day to be observed on April 25.
Impossible to Forget is a powerful and moving exhibit of 80 photographs by internationally recognized and English-born photographer Michael Kenna. The photographs, selected from several thousand produced over a twelve-year period, document the Nazi death camps throughout Europe.
The PBS FRONTLINE production Memory of the Camps is collection of film gathered from Allied forces as they entered the concentration camps. PBS first produced the documentary in 1985 after finding actual footage of Allied soldiers liberating several camps in a vault in London's Imperial War Museum.
