Internationally, we observe International Holocaust Remembrance Day today.
This is a United Nations observance that honors and remembers the tragedy of the Holocaust and the millions of people who lost their lives at the hands of the Nazi government.
The 27th was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the date when, in 1945, Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest concentration camp.
Importantly (no, it's not, I'm kidding), the U.S. commemorates National Chocolate Cake Day today. Hmmm... .. Well, now, maybe we watch OUT for chocolate cake? We hold the ramparts fast against the caloric menace. Or something like that.
