Liberation of Auschwitz by Red Army

On January 27, 1945, the Soviet 322nd Rifle Division liberated the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz. The camp was located in Poland, which was occupied by the Nazi Germany during the World War II. The camp became a major site of the Nazis’ Final Solution to the Jewish Question, where more than one million Jews, Poles, Romani and Soviet prisoners of war (POWs) were exterminated, many in gas chambers.

Since 2005, January 27 is commemorated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Kerala Human Chain
On January 26, Sunday, – India’s Republic Day – progressive sections in the south Indian State of Kerala organized a 620-km-long Statewide human chain protesting the divisive Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) that is being pushed by the far-right central government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. More than 7 million people from all walks of life joined the unbroken human chain formed on Sunday by 4 pm that extended from the northernmost district of Kasargod to the southernmost district of Thiruvananthapuram. The human chain was organized by the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and is perhaps one of the single largest gatherings against the divisive tactics of the Hindu fundamentalist government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

It is an American federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King’s birthday, January 15. He was the most ardent spokesperson and leader of the civil rights movement. King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, a protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama. It began after, after Rosa Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person.
