The Holocaust and Liberators Memorial - on the lawn of the Statehouse in Columbus, OH. I didnt realize when I posted this a few days ago that today, January 27th, is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as well as the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp at the end of World War II in 1945. The inscriptions read: If you save one life, it is as if you saved the world. Every human being who chooses to remember this chapter of history and to infuse it with meaning is thereby choosing to struggle for the preservation of the bedrock moral values that alone make possible the existence of a well-ordered society. This is a commitment to uphold human rights, above all, freedom and the sanctity of life, and the opportunity for people to live side by side in harmony.” - Auschwitz survivor Avner Shalev
