Ukraine on Jan. 27 joined the international community in commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, established by the UN General Assembly Resolution 60/7 on Nov. 1, 2005.
“The Holocaust is a horrendous chapter in human history. The memory of this horrible and inhumane tragedy resonates deeply in Ukrainian society as 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews fell victims to the Holocaust. 60 percent of Ukraine’s Jewish population perished,” Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on this occasion.
