6 Millones Asesinados Shoah, literalmente "catástrofe", es la voz hebrea para Holocausto. Denota la catastrófica aniquilación de las comunidades judías e Europa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Yom Ha-Shoah es el diía de recordación del Holocausto que tiene lugar cada 27 del mes hebreo de Nisan. En el 2005, la Organización de Las Naciones Unidas designó el 27 de enero como el Día Internacional de Commemoración anual en memoria de las víctimas del Holocausto.

Desesperanzada, Ana Frank escribió en su diario: "Jamás ceeré que únicamente los doderosos, los gobernantes y los capitalistas son responsables de la guerra. No. El hombre de la calle también es responsable. si no, los pueblos hace tiempo se hubiesen rebelado. Los hombres han nacido con el instinto de destruir, de matar y asesinar; hasta que toda la humanidad, sin excepción, no sufra un enorme cambio, la guerra imperará; las reconstrucciones, las tierras cultivados serán nuevamente destruidas, y la humanidad no tendrá que volver a empezar".
3 de mayo de 1944

literally "catastrophe," is the Hebrew word for Holocaust. It denotes the catastrophic annihilation of European Jewry during World War II. Remembrance which takes place each year on the 27th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. In 2005, the United Nations designated the 27th of January as an annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

In her darkest hours, Anne Frank wrote in her diary: "I don't believe that the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago! There is an urge and rage in the people to destroy, to kill, to murder. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown, will be cut down and destroyed, after which mankind will have to begin all over again!"
