DEPORTATION TO DEATH CAMPS

"The Jews were ordered to gather, and to bring with them only a few possessions. Loaded into crowded cattle cars without ventilation, water or food, they were sealed in the cars for days until arriving at the death camps. Many perished as a result of the conditions on the train."

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international memorial day on 27 January that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, which resulted in the genocide of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, an attempt to implement its "final solution" to the Jewish question.

The day remembers the killing of six million Jews, two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population, and millions of others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.
