(CNS News) January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, established to commemorate the six million Jews who were deliberately killed by the Nazi regime, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. The day also commemorates the 11 million people (non-Jews) who were also intentionally killed by the Nazis for political or racial reasons.
Established by the U.N. in 2005, this memorial day marks the 76th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation in 1945. Auschwitz, in Poland, was the largest Nazi concentration and death camp, where the National Socialist German Workers’ Party exterminated 1.1 million people.
