International Holocaust Remembrance Day part 1

Nazi death camp survivors mark 79th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Nearly 6 million European Jews were killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust — the mass murder of Jews and other groups before and during World War II. The theme of the observances is the human being, symbolized in simple, hand-drawn portraits. They are meant to stress that the horror of Auschwitz-Birkenau lies in the suffering of people held and killed there. Blaise Misztal, Vice President for Policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America reflects on the importance of this day.
