International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is celebrated on January 27, was officially adopted by the UN General Assembly on November 1, 2005.
It is no coincidence that the victims of the Holocaust are commemorated on January 27. It was on this day in 1945 that the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated - a place of imprisonment, human experimentation and execution of Jews, Poles, Gypsies and other victims. It is officially recognized that up to 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. As is known, immediately after the occupation of Ukraine, the Nazis deployed a wide network of ghettos (the largest was Lviv), and later began mass shootings of the Jewish population. One of the largest and most famous were the shootings in Babyn Yar in Kyiv, but the destruction of the Jews of Ukraine was systematic and widespread.
