International Holocaust Remembrance Day: January 27
On this date in 1945, Russian troops liberated the prisoners held at the Nazi concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, revealing to the world the horrors of the holocaust.
Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005 and observed each year on January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day honors the memory of the victims and addresses the residual trauma caused by Nazi genocide that resulted in the death of more than six million Jews and other victims of crimes perpetrated by Nazism.
According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the designation promotes effective remembrance policies, caring for historic sites, educational programs, documentation and research to help prevent genocide around the world.
