Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
January 27 marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.
In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated this day as International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD), an annual day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Nazi era.
From 1940 to 1945, more than 1.1 million men, women and children were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp. 90% of them were Jews. All were innocent. Today, we remember
Never Again.

A peace sign made with pens in Paris, over the names of the four Charlie Hebdo cartoonists that were killed on Wednesday.
Because freedom of speech is an important moral right that is fundamental to mankind. Because no matter what your opinions are, and how many people disagree with them, expressing them should never put your life in danger. Sharing and comparing opinions and points ofv iew is the only way we can hope to achieve peace and create a society that cares about equality and freedom.
