 January 27 is International #HolocaustRemembranceDay and the anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi Concentration

 

January 27 is International #HolocaustRemembranceDay and the anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau, which took place 74 years ago. 

On this day we pay tribute to the millions of victims of the #Holocaust but also recommit to preserving the memory of the victims of German Nazi oppression.

On this day and everyday: Words Matter. Remember to use the correct terms when describing German Nazi camps. 

It’s not just a matter of semantics. It’s a matter of historical integrity and accuracy.

Using precise language when discussing the Holocaust is essential to never forget. #WordsMatter #WeRemember

On the map: on black German death camps in occupied Europe. On grey Ghettos.
