There are dates in history that have been labelled as harbinger..or bellwether of prosperity and good fortune.
And then, there are also dates….or rather eras that have gone down in history in infamy…as mataphors of persecution..atrocities…and exterminations.
One such date is 27th January that brought curtains down on almost 12 years of mass slaughter..
Deliberate and systemic killings… before and during the time of Second World War.
Every year, 27th January is observed as the ‘Holocaust Remembrance Day’.
In this video, we take you to a sombre trip back to the period between 1930s to 1940s when the gravest… and definitely the most unforgivable crime against humanity was committed.
But before that, don't forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.
