Holocaust Memorial Day - Stop turning a blind eye to signs of serious HumanRights violations – Pillay

Memorial Day: Stop turning a blind eye to signs of serious violations – Pillay:

“Today, we honour the memory of the millions of people – men, women and children – brutally murdered seven decades ago for the simple fact of being Jewish, Roma, Slav or homosexual, because they had disabilities, or were Jehovah’s witnesses or political opponents,” UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay says for the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the #Holocaust.

UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay paid her respects to the #Holocaust victims at #Auschwitz

“It is truly a humbling experience to feel the immense tragedy that permeates the walls and grounds of this terrible place. I commemorate all the children, women and men who were killed by the Nazi regime, in absolute denial of their #HumanRights”, she said during her visit at the concentration camp.
