* On November 1, 2005, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a 60/7 ruling stating that 27 January will be annually marked as an International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The date was chosen because on that day in 1945 the largest Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was released in Auschwitz (Poland).
After the adoption of this resolution, the Secretary-General of the United Nations called this special date “an important reminder of the lessons of the Holocaust – this unprecedented manifestation of evil that should not just be left in the past and become oblivious.”
The monster implications of the Second World War served as a boost to the establishment of the United Nations. The most important part of the Organization’s mandate, enshrined in its Statute, is the protection of the rights of all people without race, sex, language or religion distinction.
