International Holocaust Remembrance

International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international Memorial Day that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. The Holocaust resulted in the genocide of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, an attempt to implement its "final solution to the Jewish question". January 27 was chosen to commemorate the date when the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.
