January 27, 1941. A date that will forever be remembered. I’m sure we are all aware of the tragedies that occurred during the Holocaust, but maybe aren’t aware of why it was made an international day of honor. Holocaust remembrance was made an annual honoring for all the victims and families that went through this terrible period of time. This also gives the survivors a day and chance to be seen. The events that happened during the Holocaust resulted in mass genocide of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany. We don’t really hear about the other groups affected by the holocaust, people only ever really teach and talk about the Jews. But the Jehovah’s witness, Gypsies, People with disabilities and many more were also thrown into the torture the Nazis threw at them. With that said the holocaust will be an example of why we need to do everything we can to prevent further genocide and torture to humans by dictators.
