International Holocaust Remembrance Day: Commemorating the Dreadful Holocaust

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day is an international memorial day held on 27th of Jan. of each year. This commemorates the Holocaust victims which include six million Jews, one million Roma, 250,000 disabled individuals, and 9,000 homosexual men. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day is well-celebrated in the United Kingdom and Italy.

In relation to The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the United Nations urges every one of its members to honor the victims of the Nazi era with hopes to prevent the same occurrence in the future. This Nazi genocide has always been remarkable in the world history because of hundred thousands of lost lives. Up to this day, several groups and organizations hold commemorations every International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

In the United States, a Holocaust museum was built to serve some visitors and guests as a memorial site. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, or simply The Museum, produced a 38-minute film that gives overviews and evokes insights about the Holocaust. The short film aims to provoke the interest of the current generation about the state of the ordinary people, institutions, and countries during the Nazi era, specifically between 1918 and 1945. This commemorative project is available in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese languages. The Museum partners with United Nations Outreach Programme to produce this film in all UN official languages.

During the recent International Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Museum continuously screened the 20-minute film titled "Liberation and Return to Life" in the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Theater. Amid showing graphic content that may not suit all audiences, the film successfully delivers the hardships of the soldiers and survivors during the Nazi era.

The Museum will observe the Days of Remembrance, the United States' annual Holocaust commemoration, from April 12 to 19 of this year.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day will always be a significant event to refresh our minds about the lost souls during the notorious genocide.
