International Holocaust Remembrance Day, 27 January, is an international memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust, the genocide that resulted in the annihilation of 6 million Jews, 2 million Gypsies (Roma and Sinti), 15,000 homosexual people and millions of others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/7 on 1 November 2005 during the 42nd plenary session.[1] The resolution came after a special session was held earlier that year on 24 January 2005 during which the United Nations General Assembly marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust.[2]
27 January is the date, in 1945, when the largest Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was liberated by Soviet troops.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/7 on 1 November 2005 during the 42nd plenary session [1].

“This special day is a reminder that the ultimate responsibility of making sure that such monumental crimes never happen again rests with each and every one of us. It requires us to maintain our ability to stand firm in our fight against discrimination and related hatred at all times,” said UN human rights chief Navi Pillay. More: http://bit.ly/10SuFBB
Why we must remember the holocaust – UN human rights chief – „The Holocaust serves as a reminder of the perils of discrimination and intolerance, of just how powerful the incitement to racial hatred can be, and of the importance of intervening early to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again,“ says UN human rights chief Navi Pillay on the Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust today. http://bit.ly/yTVL9k
