DESCRIPTION:January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD). T
 he date marks the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau
 \, the Nazi’s largest concentration and extermination camp.\n\nIHRD helps 
 keep vital lessons from history alive in public memory and can help streng
 then our abilities recognize and resist dehumanization and the subtle\, mu
 ndane means by which atrocities sometimes occur.\n\nBelow are two local Ho
 locaust Remembrance Day events that will bring the history to life:\n\nJan
 uary 25th\, 5:00 PM: Screening of Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire and a conversa

 scussion with his son\, Elisha Wiesel\, who continues to uphold his father
 ’s humanitarian legacy through his work as Chairman of the Board at the El
 ie Wiesel Foundation. Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald\, 
 we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely read
  memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice\, Eli
 e Wiesel: Soul on Fire penetrates to the heart of the known and unknown El
 ie Wiesel (1928-2016)—his passions\, his conflicts and his legacy as one o
 f the most public survivors of the Holocaust. With unique access to person
 al archives\, original interviews and employing hand-painted animation\, t
 he film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor\, writer\, teacher\, 
 public figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Tickets are $10\, and reservat
