UN unanimously declares Jan. 27 Int'l Holocaust Day, Haaretz, Nov 1, 2005

[Coastie for Truth]

NEW YORK - The United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday unanimously approved a proposal to set January 27 as the "International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust." The decision was made at the end of a special General Assembly session that began at UN headquarters in New York on Monday.

January 27, 1945 is the day the former Nazi concentration and extermination camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was liberated.

As the world marks the 60th anniversaries this year of both the founding of the UN and the end of World War II, Israel's UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman said the Nazi slaughter of six million people, the vast majority of them Jews, must never be forgotten.

1. I guess the UN is not totally evil after all. nt

2. True but this will have a negative effect imo

The cries of "Jews control everything" gets stronger every year. Now we own the UN too apparently, they will say. This will just be used by the haters as more fodder for their final solution.

What a catch 22.

3. I'm confused...

some "leftists" in this forum have claimed the Arabs either control or have undue influence in the UN. Go figure...
