Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps by Soviet troops, marked as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Today, we pause and remember the lives taken in the Holocaust. May we learn the history of what happened and commit to ensuring it never occurs again in the future to any other person. Let us commit to continuing to speak up in the face of hatred and injustice. And may the memories of those who perished in the Holocaust serve as a continued blessing for each of us. #internationalholocaustremembranceday (fb)
