International Holocaust Remembrance Day

International Holocaust Remembrance Day, created by the United Nations in 2005, marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by Soviet soldiers in 1945. This international day of remembrance honors the six million Jewish victims and millions of innocent people who suffered during the Holocaust.
