In addition to the national event, there are numerous smaller memorial events around the country organised by many different organisations, groups and individuals. The chosen date is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp by the Soviet Union in 1945, the date also chosen for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and some other national Holocaust Memorial Days. It was first held in January 2001 and has been on the same date every year since.
