27 ianuarie - Ziua internațională de comemorare a victimelor Holocaustului
Într-un articol anterior precizam că sunt două zile pe an dedicate comemorării victimelor Holocaustului, una la nivel național, alta la nivel internațional.
Știm deja că Holocaustul e cea mai mare tragedie din istoria umanității. Unele tragedii nu pot fi uitate. Și poate că nici nu trebuie. De aceea am selectat câteva cărți absolut tulburătoare despre ororile istoriei.
