27 January is designated by the United Nations General Assembly as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Since 2005, the UN and its member states have held commemoration ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and pay tribute to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism.
Marian Turski, a former Auschwitz prisoner at the 2020 International Holocaust Remembrance Day said:
‘The Eleventh Commandment: do not be indifferent! Otherwise, in no time at all to
you and your descendants some kind of Auschwitz will come out of nowhere.’
