On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the loss of 6 million Jews and the more than 27,000 non-Jews, known as the Righteous Among the Nations, who risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis and their collaborators.

Esta semana tuvo lugar el Día Internacional de Conmemoración del Holocausto, fecha en la que se recuerda a los 6 millones de judíos asesinados durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero también es una ocasión para reconocer y honrar a los miles de no judíos que arriesgaron sus vidas para ayudar a salvar a las víctimas de la persecución y los crímenes por parte de los nazis y sus colaboradores.
