On January 27, the International Holocaust Memorial Day, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, Holocaust victims are commemorated.

This date coincides with the release of Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945.

The word “Before World War II, this term was used to describe the death of a large group of people.

By 1945 it has become synonymous with the systematic persecution of European Jews and the killings of 6 million of them during World War II by the Nazis and their allies from 1933 to 1945. The Jews refer to the event with the word “hoah” which means “catastrophic”

An important role in saving Jews has been played by Albanians who in their families have sheltered many Jews who had fled other countries, or lived in Kosovo and Albania.
