DESCRIPTION:January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD). T
 he date marks the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau
 \, the Nazi’s largest concentration and extermination camp. 1.1 million pe
 ople were killed in the camp\; almost 1 million of them were Jews. On this
  day in 1945\, the Soviet Army liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau and its remain
 ing prisoners. If you would like to learn more about the Holocaust\, McGil
