The Global Citizen: Holocaust
Today, January 27, 2010 marks the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. International Holocaust Remembrance Day was established as a global day of commemoration by a United Nations resolution in 2005. On the day the resolution was adopted, the President of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly, Mr. Jan Eliasson, stated that the Holocaust must "be a unifying historic warning around which we must rally, not only to recall the grievous crimes committed in human history but also to reaffirm our unfaltering resolve to prevent the recurrence of such crimes.We cannot continue to repeat saying 'Never again'."
Amnesty International launched a new initiative today that will give the public another glance into the situation in Darfur. Amnesty produced "Eyes on Darfur" with the hope of raising awareness and preventing future attacks through its collection of satellite imagery, testimonials, and actionable items.
