Oped, Meir Shlomo, Published on 27/01/2021
» Every year, on Jan 27, we come together to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the Second World War, the Nazi regime annihilated, systemically and brutally, in cold blood, no fewer than six million Jews, including more than one million children.
