On January 27th 1945, Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz was liberated. Today we remember this event with International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It is estimated that there were 4,500 survivors who were liberated, but many people ultimately did not survive the wounds that were inflected during their time at the camp. One who died was Fanny Cogan (1937-1942). She was living in Paris France and rounded up, murdered, and cremated at the age of 6.
It's important we never forget. Alyssa is one member who has spent countless hours doing her part sharing the victims' stories and photos on AncientFaces so that they are always remembered.

AncientFaces But no body hears about it,why? What makes the Jews so special?Babies were used for bayonet practice,over twice as many Chinese civilians. died.Don't get me wrong,I'm sadden that this happened to them.

Jeffrey Hampton I had to "hide" your comment because the images are too disturbing for FB - I'm sorry. They are horrifying.

When we were in New Denver British Columbia Canada we toured Japanese interment camp that was turned into a museum. It was such a sad story! The worst part is that when the camp closed the Japanese were forced out of Canada. I can't imagine what it would be like to have lived (and died) in those times.

Jeffrey, you are Correct. I went and looked up the images from this period of time and my GOD... what the Japanese did was horrific.. unimaginable tortures and evil things..It looks just as horrific as what wrongfully happened to the Jewish people. It is absolutely monsterous. I did not know this. So I learned something today...

That’s another human-made tragedy on an enormous scale, like many others, but I don’t think it belongs on this post.
This is to remember the Holocaust, not to compare it to other genocides.

I've heard about it. That's why China hates Japan to this day.

So many precious children murdered , god rest them all
via Facebook
For years, I asked my dad why we did nothing; he never had an answer. A few years ago, I bought the book Why We Watched to find the solution. I read the entire book, which referenced political will, war weariness, etc. My reaction? "It's not good enough." I sat in my Jewish doctor's office after finishing and wept. How could nobody care? Never again indeed

What an incomprehensible evil to take children's lives away in such a horrific manner. Though there's good in the world, evil still exists ~ but may it be conquered for good one day...and may that precious little girl, along with all the other children who have perished, be at peace.
via Facebook
Still unbelievable how people could have been so evil, and the rest of the world held back from. helping them when they knew what was being done, if they had acted early on maby many could have been saved, all those poor people slaughtered by a mindless country that had no regard for human life, we can't even begin to imagine the fear and agony they felt less we forget what was done
