Holocaust Memorial Day is observed on Jan. 27 every year to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest of the Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers.

On this memorial day, United Nations urges people to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.
