To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026, the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity presents a short film featuring the art of Marianne Grant—an artist whose drawings, created inside German Nazi camps, became a means of survival and a powerful form of witness, preserving moments of care and humanity in the face of extreme dehumanisation.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day was designated as such by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005 in order to make future generations sensitive to the tragedy of the Holocaust and so prevent in that way any future acts of genocide. The Day is commemorated on 27 January, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau German Nazi concentration camp, the site that witnessed the carnage of at least a million of Hungarian, Polish, French, Czech, Slovak and Greek Jews as well as those from other countries, and around a hundred twenty thousand other prisoners (Poles, Roma, Soviet captives and others). The European Network Remembrance and Solidarity wishes to be involved in activities commemorating the Day in public awareness.
