INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY 2016

"The Holocaust, which established the standard for absolute evil, is the universal heritage of all civilized people"

- Our Living Legacy

            Every year on January 27, we, the comrades of Unit 1012 will remember those who died in the Holocaust during World War II. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day is held on January 27 every year as on that date, in 1945, when the largest Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was liberated by Soviet troops.

            This year, 2016, is the 71^st anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. We will remember those Jews who died during the Holocaust, those who survived, the Righteous among the Nations and also those Jews who were killed on the orders of Stalin. Unit 1012 will never forget them and we will always honor and remember this event.
