International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today is January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The Holocaust, which has led to the destruction of one-third of the Jews and countless representatives of other nationalities, will always serve as a memorial to all people about the dangers that conceal hatred, fanaticism, racism and prejudice.

According to the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, on that day in 1945, troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front entered the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. This camp has become a symbol of Nazi crime in the modern world.

The Holocaust of the Jews in the Nazi-occupied territory of the USSR differed from similar events in Europe. There the Jews were driven into the ghetto and eventually sent to places of mass destruction in gas chambers. In Ukrainian lands, most of the Jewish population were killed by bullets in anti-tank pits. They were dug up under Soviet rule by prisoners of war, local people, or the victims themselves.

The sweepstakes were first carried out by Einsatzgruppen in the occupied Galicia. In the course of the week, 6,000 Jews were killed in Lviv as a result of the Nazis-initiated pogroms. The “final decision” led to the destruction of Galicia’s Jews in the camps and ghettoes of Ternopil, Drohobych, Boryslav, Skole, Stryi and others. bridge. In all, 610,000 Jews were killed.

In the broad sense, the Holocaust is the systematic persecution and destruction of people on the basis of their race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation or genetic type as inferior, harmful.

It is officially acknowledged that up to 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, including 2.2 to 2.5 million in the former Soviet Union.

It is a great tragedy for the whole world, which should now serve as a lesson for everyone.

Therefore, today, dozens of students join in honoring the memory and spreading information about the Holocaust on their social networks to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
