The Holocaust was the persecution and mass extermination of European Jews by the Nazis during World War II.
In 2007, UN General Assembly Resolution 61/255 was adopted, which strongly recommended that all countries reject any denial of the Holocaust and honor the memory of those killed at the hands of the Nazis.
We all remember. This pain is close to us, because the Crimean Tatar people survived the Deportation in 1944 and, unfortunately, persecution of the Crimean Tatars on ethnic grounds in the occupied Crimea still continues, and with the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, this spread to the newly occupied territories of Ukraine.
Now, more than ever, we must be united to prevent this from happening. This is a lesson that should forever keep the world from xenophobia and persecution of people based on their ethnicity.
