Today Is Holocaust Remembrance Day<\/a><\/p>\n

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the victims of Nazi genocide, particularly Jews.<\/p>\n

Adolf Hitler and his Nazis\u00a0massacred<\/a>\u00a0an estimated 17 million-plus people during their relatively brief but extremely deadly reign of terror. These included\u00a0Catholics<\/a>\u00a0and other Christians, Soviet civilians, Serbs, Poles, Roma, disabled individuals, and, most infamously, 6 million Jews from many nations. In fact, 80 years after the Holocaust, the worldwide Jewish population\u00a0has yet to recover<\/a> from its decimation.<\/p>\n

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day because it is the anniversary of the Allied liberation of Auschwitz, the most infamous and deadly of the\u00a0dozens<\/a>\u00a0of Nazi concentration camps. Holocaust survivor and nonagenarian Manfred Goldberg today\u00a0remembered<\/a>\u00a0his experiences entering and being held in Auschwitz as a 13-year-old. \u201cWork sets you free,\u201d the Auschwitz gate sign said in German. \u201cIt became realistic that once you walked through that gate, you were under a sentence of death,\u201d Goldberg recalled.<\/p>\n
