Resource Update: 10 Jewish Authors to Read in Honor of the Holocaust Day of Remembrance

January 27th is recognized by the United Nations as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This date was chosen because it is the anniversary of the day that prisoners at Auschwitz-Birkenau were liberated. This remembrance day is intended to honor the victims of the Holocaust as well as support educational programming designed to prevent genocides and Nazi ideology. In honor of this occasion, we have assembled a list of 10 Jewish authors who write for a wide variety of ages and interests. While Jewish Europeans were the primary targets of Nazi Germany, other minorities, such as the Roma and Sinti ethnic groups, LGBT+ individuals, people with disabilities, and others were also targeted.
