Tag: Auschwitz-Birkenau

eretzyisrael: Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. January 27 marks the 69th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.  In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated this day as International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD), an annual day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Nazi era. From 1940 to 1945, more than 1.1 million men, women and children were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp. 90% of them were Jews. All were innocent. Today, we remember Never Again.
