On January 27, Ukraine and the world commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day was established by the decision of the UN General Assembly on November 1, 2005. The memorable date is celebrated annually on January 27, because it was on this day in 1945 that the prisoners of the largest Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in Auschwitz were liberated during World War II. During the existence of this concentration camp, from 1.5 to 2.2 million people died there, according to various estimates. In total, 6 million Jews died in concentration camps and in the occupied territories during World War II, of which about 1.5 million were children.
The Scientific Library of the KhSU has prepared for your attention a virtual exhibition dedicated to the victims of Nazi terror during World War II. The exhibition presents documents, memories, and photo chronicles that reveal various aspects of this tragedy, its causes, and consequences.
