Holocaust Victims' Day remembers the horrific events which began in 1942. The day marks the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp by Russian soldiers on January 27, 1945.
The Holocaust is one of the most significant tragedies in recent history - both in scale and in the mark it left on humanity. People were targeted due to their faith, physical and/or mental challenges, political views, color and sexual orientation, imprisoned and in many cases murdered or starved to death. People targeted by the Nazi regime for imprisonment and extermination included those of the Jewish faith, Catholic faith, Romani (Gypsies), Mentally Ill, Handicap, Communists, Persons of color and Homosexuals.
The largest single group targeted and murdered were those of the Jewish faith, representing 25% of the world’s Jewish population. Though a much smaller worldwide population, 25% of the world’s Romani population were also exterminated during the Holocaust.
This day is set aside each year to remember all the victims, regardless of faith, race, health or sexual orientation, as well as the circumstances leading up to and causing this international tragedy.
