Ms. Leendertse
Eighty years ago, senior Nazi officials gathered in Berlin, the capital of Germany, to plan the implementation of the Holocaust, the worst crime in human history.

Nearly 6 million Jews were murdered, 1.5 million of them children, alongside a large …

The Holocaust is a common tragedy and a source of guilt for humankind as a whole. More than one and a half million Ukrainian Jews were killed during the dark times of modern history.
