The Holocaust was not just a crime committed against the Jewish people, it was a crime against humanity.
Roma, Sinti, homosexuals, people with disabilities, Jehovah’s Witnesses, political and religious leaders were all victims of the evil, brutal Nazi killing machine.
By the end of the war, 6 million Jews were murdered, including 1.5 million children.
If a minute’s silence was observed for each victim, the silence would last more than 11 years.
It was the darkest hour of mankind that forced the international community to pledge “never again”.
But with time, memories fade, events are forgotten and most of those who bore witness are no longer here to tell their stories.
