Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we commemorate the 6 million Jews who were brutally murdered by the Nazis and their accomplices. As young people it is easy to feel a disconnect from the horrors that occurred in the 1940s, but these events are not ancient history. Everyone has met someone who was alive during the Holocaust and many have even met a Holocaust survivor. To our detriment, there are less survivors able to tell their story with each passing year and we must rely on education and justice to continue to pass on these stories.
