Join in and light a candle to commemorate the Romani and other victims of the holocaust.

January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. In 2005, the U.N. designated this day as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, an annual day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Nazi era where over 1 million Romanies were killed along with millions of Jews.

Every member nation of the U.N. has an obligation to honor the memory of Holocaust victims and develop educational programs as part of an international resolve to help prevent future acts of genocide.

I have seen the full Romani show, It impresses about the problems of racism.It also shows that how Human rights are being suppressed by powerful countries and groups. These Romani nomadic people have helped and served continuesly to well settled communites for centuries and now they are tortured being Kale (black).

Thanks for your comment.
All human rights are connected.
People need to recognize the real enemies and not lash out at those with even fewer rights or resources.
Thanks again.
