Observed annually on January 27th to remember the victims of the Holocaust, in which millions of Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime during World War II, International Holocaust Remembrance Day serves as a reminder to never forget the horrors of the past and to strive for a more just and peaceful world.
History of International Holocaust Remembrance Day
The Holocaust was a genocide that took place during World War II in which millions of Jews, as well as other minority groups, were systematically tortured and killed by the Nazi regime in Europe. Beginning in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and implemented policies of racial purity and persecution of Jews and other minorities, the Holocaust reached its height in 1941 when the Nazis began the extermination of Jews in concentration camps across Europe, and ended in 1945 when Allied forces liberated the concentration camps and defeated the Nazi regime. The Holocaust is remembered as one of the darkest periods in human history.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day was established by the United Nations in 2005 to mark the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945. The day is held every January 27th to honor the victims of the Holocaust and to recognize the importance of remembering and learning from this tragic event. The day is observed around the world with ceremonies, events, and educational programs to honor the victims and to raise awareness about the dangers of hatred, discrimination, and violence.

Yeah, winning a World Cup is cool, but this is ART! Soccer great Lionel Messi cemented his place in history when he led Argentina to World Cup glory last year, and his fellow Argentines have found fabulous ways to celebrate him. This incredible image, etched in a cornfield, is located in Los Condores in central Córdoba province. It was sown by crop farmer Maximiliano Spinazze using an algorithm that calculated where seeds would need to be planted so that when the corn grew it created a huge visual image of Messi’s bearded visage.

(Not So) TOTALLY USELESS FACTS OF THE DAY
Gambling, Casinos, and Las Vegas, three words that go hand in hand. Here’s one word you won’t see connected with those three… clocks. You will not find a clock inside a Las Vegas casino (most other casinos as well). The MORE aware of time you are, the LESS amount of money you will spend gambling. Want to know something else you won’t find in a casino? Windows.
Just a FYI =)
Farting can help reduce high blood pressure and is good for your overall health.
Butterflies drink blood. A butterfly drinks blood for the nutrients and minerals that are in it. That said, a butterfly will not sting, prick, or do anything that will cause the bleeding.
