27 January: International Holocaust Remembrance Day
On this day we honour and remember the approximately 22 million innocent souls who fell victims to hate racism and prejudice crimes, nearly 7.5 million of which were slaughtered for being who they were.
- 6 million Jews (1.5 million of which were children)
- 1.5 million Romani
- 270 000 People with disabilities (be it physical or mental)
- 55 000 gay people (approximately)
- 14 million civilians, caught in the crossfire, famine and ugliness of war from all over Europe.
- 12 000 Jehova’s Witnesses (approximately) of which 2 500 - 5 000 killed.
This day is an important reminder of what once was and what should never be again.
May their rest be more peaceful than their life and may their memory be a blessing.
Never Forget.
