World Holocaust Day

Today is World Holocaust Day. All member States of the United Nations are invited to set this day aside as a special day of remembrance for those who suffered under the tyranny of Nazi Germany.

It was on January 27 1945 that the Soviet Army liberated those still alive at Auschwitz Birkenau.
