Various countries have chosen different days as Holocaust Memorial Day (for example, France takes the day of the Vel d'Hiv roundup, to acknowledge the guilt of the Vichy police as well as the Nazis) but the UN has chosen the day of the liberation of the Auschwitz Death camp, the 27th of January.

I guess you can discuss the actual content of the thread Hephaestion had started here as well, if you wish. Please, NO racist spam, whether anti-Jewish or anti-Arab!
