In 2005, the UN designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The story of five prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp as told through the memoirs of Dr. Miklos Nyiszil, a Hungarian Jew chosen by Josef Mengele to be the head pathologist at Auschwitz. In, The Grey Zone, Dr. Nyiszil, along with the Sonderkomando (Jews who are forced to work in the crematoria of Auschwitz against their fellow Jews), find themselves in a moral grey zone.

A discussion afterwards will be led by Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies, Ari Joskowicz.
