The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international memorial day held annually on January 27th that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, which resulted in the genocide of one third of the Jewish peoples in Europe, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. January 27th was chosen to commemorate the date when the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.
The day remembers the killing of two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population and millions of others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. It was designated by United Nations General Assembly resolution 60-7 on November 1st 2005 and has since been recognized in over 60 countries in various ways. George Santayana wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” To commemorate and recognize today, we ask for our Hillside Public Schools community to take a moment of silence, in reflection and remembrance in the hopes for a better tomorrow for all.
