Today, January 27 - is the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. It also marks #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay. To start off, this post is not to offend or hurt anyone in anyway with my way of honoring those who lost their lives or are scarred by any genocide in history. I have a lot of interest in WWII and Holocaust, stemming from my Grandpa being a WWII Veteran - listening to his stories, his experiences, and the lessons he taught me before he passed away. I have a lot of links to share with you for today.
First I'll direct you to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust website for some history and to see how people across the world are getting involved in stopping genocide across the world. This website is based in the UK, but is full of information, not just on what to do with today, but history, survivor's stories, ways to fight for a better future, not just for yours and mine, but the whole world. This site has so much information on it. Dive in!
Secondly, I want to direct you to The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's website to see their remembrance day page, and to invite you to browse around their website for lots of information about the Holocaust. HERE you can find out more on the Holocaust itself. You can find more out about visiting the museum HERE.
If you would like to lean more about the day from the Jewish stand point, please visit the Jewish Virtual Library and read on Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Memorial Day. PLEASE NOTE: I'm not pushing any type of religion on anyone. it's all for education, clarification, and understanding.
While you are at it, head over to X (formerly Twitter), and use the hashtag #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay and see all the amazing stories of people remembering their loved ones today with stories , pictures and videos.
