Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, which commemorates the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland. Today, Survivors will lay wreaths and light candles at the so-called Death Wall at Block 11 to mark 70 years since the camp's liberation, and remember those who never left. Human Rights and Holocaust organizations worldwide mark the event and distribute educational materials. |
