From the UNESCO website: The date marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Birken German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp by Soviet troops on 27 January 1945. It was officially proclaimed, in November 2005, International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust by the United Nations General Assembly.

Update: Our governor, Josh Stein, released his statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, in which he finished by using that infuriatingly politically correct line: "In their memory, let us resolve to combat antisemitism and other forms of hate wherever we see them.” Excuse me, That just infuriates me. This day isn't about "other forms of hate". It's about the extermination of the Jewish people.
After the Holocaust, we said "never again". Then came the massacre of Israeli Jews by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Once again, we said "never again". Then Bondi Beach. "Never again" will never happen so long as rabid anti-Jewish hate is allowed free rein.
Just the other day, Tim Walz had the nerve to compare the children of illegal aliens to Anne Frank. People like him will never learn.

How the world allowed the Holocaust to happen. Now we know
Melanie Phillips, Jan 27, 2026
"Today is Holocaust Memorial Day — the international day that marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It was designated as such by the United Nations as a “global reminder of the dangers of hatred, bigotry and antisemitism”.
"But the UN, which is in bed with Hamas and singles out Israel alone for non-stop defamation and demonisation as more evil than all the tyrannies of the world — and which employs rank antisemites to do this filthy work — is itself guilty of hatred and bigotry towards the Jewish people.
"Britain’s Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, marked the day by declaring her commitment to “work with counterparts around the world to tackle the global rise of antisemitism, including close collaboration with Canada and Australia in the wake of recent attacks”.
"But ever since the atrocities in Israel on October 7 2023, the governments of Britain, Canada and Australia have permitted frenzied incitement to hatred of Israel and the murder of Jews to be amplified on their streets with virtually no pushback, on the grounds of “freedom of speech”.
"Worse, those governments have themselves fanned the flames of Jew-hatred by promoting Hamas propaganda lies and blood libels about Israel wantonly killing the innocent in Gaza, in what has been in fact Israel’s desperate war to defend itself — against a second Holocaust.
"With utterly false accusations of starvation, genocide and war crimes painting Israel as uniquely evil, and so putting a target on the back of every single Jew, these and other western governments — along with the UN — have helped create a pre-pogrom atmosphere by performing the script written for them by Islamists out to destroy Israel, murder Jews and conquer the west.
"The Iranian regime has been threatening genocide and attacking Israel and murdering Jews for decades. Even though they’ve been recently slaughtering their own, mowing down tens of thousands of protesters and rounding up untold numbers of others to torture and murder, much of the west has just shrugged and looked the other way.
"It’s not just the hypocrisy on this particular day that curdles the stomach. The big thing we’ve now been made to understand is how the world allowed the Holocaust to happen."
