International Holocaust Remembrance Day
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day
is the international memorial day observed on 27 January that commemorates the victims of The Holocaust, the genocide of European Jews by Nazi Germany between 1941 and 1945.
27 January was chosen to commemorate the event as that was the day when Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.
The day remembers the killing of 6 million Jews and 11 million others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.
Jews were killed and brutalised by Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, many of them were sent to gas chambers or killed en masse by bullets , others were put in concentration camps under in human conditions .
This day is a sad reminder to the coming generations not to repeat mistakes of the past, never to allow another Hitler rule the minds of men and never repeat a genocide ever again .
