International History: Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

It is the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, where Nazis killed more than 1 million men, women and children. More than 6 million Jews (more than 25,000 times the population of Warren County) were deliberately murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators over the course of the Holocaust (they also murdered millions that Hitler felt were unfit for his vision of new Germany).
​
We must remember today, and learn from the events that led to such atrocities, so we never allow something so horrific to ever happen again.
