Holocaust Remembrance Day - AliceX3 - 01-28-2014
While there are several different remembrance events of the Holocaust throughout the year, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day was today. It is the day that the world can remember those 6 million victims who will never be forgotten. Was there any kind of event or remembrance for the victims where you live? Because there were none where I live and I was just curious.

Not really, it's not a well known day tbh.

This is my first time hearing there's such a day like this. I didn't know today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day, and it is sad that there were such a lot of victims who have passed away.

Over 70 million human beings died in the holocaust of WWII, not just 6 million Jews, lest we forget. Gypsies actually suffered a greater percentage of their population slaughtered. Remember all victims, even the Germans. Remember that the Nazis tried to send the Jews away and no one wanted them (except for the wealthy and important scientists among them). Genocide is wrong, whoever the victims are. And no race of people should be able to practice genocide. I look forward to the day when there will be neither Jew nor Gentile. We should remember all victims as we remember one group. Surely some of the people who died in the war could be said to have deserved to die, but even most of the nazis were victims.

Honestly I have never even heard about this day until this thread.

Never heard of this Remembrance Day. I did however visit the holocaust "building" "museum" in I think New York. And that was a really awesome experience. But let's not forget all the other deaths of WWII.

There is no special events that happen in my area nor is it widely acknowledged as it should be. But I do live fairly close to Philadelphia, PA and they have the most heartbreaking Holocaust museum. When you first enter you are given a name - at the end of the tour you find out if the name of the person you were given survived this horrible tragedy. It really hits home when you see the shoes of children who did not survive and the pictures of scratches on the inside walls of the gas chambers show how horrid it must of been.
I cannot believe there are still people to this day that refuse to believe this ever happened.
