There are at least two holocaust remembrance days... (one for goys and one for jews?)

The UN designated January 27th (today) as "International Holocaust Remembrance Day".


The jews observe "Yom HaShoah" ("Holocaust Remembrance Day") on the 27th of the jewish month of nissan (which is sometime in April-May).


There's also this:


The Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust (DRVH) is an annual 8-day period designated by the United States Congress for civic commemorations and special educational programs that help citizens remember and draw lessons from the Holocaust. The annual DRVH period normally begins on the Sunday before the Jewish observance of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, and continues through the following Sunday, usually in April or May. A National Civic Commemoration is held in Washington, D.C., with state, city, and local ceremonies and programs held in most of the fifty states, and on U.S. military ships and stations around the world. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum designates a theme for each year's programs, and provides materials to help support remembrance efforts.


The President's Commission on the Holocaust recommended that the Days of Remembrance annual observance "occur on days when Americans worship in the churches and synagogues of the nation...", to encompass the internationally recognized Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom Hashoah, the 27th of the month of Nissan on the Hebrew calendar. That date also marks the anniversary of significant American involvement in the liberation of the concentration camps.[1]

In 2005, the United Nations established a different date for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27, but the Yom HaShoa date of Nisan 27 continues as the date for the determination of the 8-day DRVH commemoration. This date also links the DRVH to the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.[2]

On the brighter side of this day in History

On January 27, 1877, Harper's Weekly featured a cartoon about the Electoral College controversy.
http://elections.harpweek.com/NYT/0101/012777l.jpg
"Compromise-Indeed!"
Artist: Thomas Nast
his Harper's Weekly cartoon by Thomas Nast concerns the Electoral Commission Act passed by Congress to resolve the disputed presidential election of 1876.

In that election, the electoral vote returns were disputed in three Southern states-Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, as was the eligibility of one elector in Oregon. Democratic nominee Samuel J. Tilden narrowly won the popular vote, but needed one more electoral vote for a majority in the all-important Electoral College. Republican nominee Rutherford B. Hayes need all 20 of the disputed electoral votes to become president. After much acrimony and mutual recriminations, Congress passed the Electoral College Act in January 1877, which established a commission of five Senators, five Representatives, and five Supreme Court justices to decide the issue.

This cartoon registers the dissatisfaction that many Republicans, including candidate Rutherford Hayes, felt about the Electoral Commission Act: "Compromise-Indeed!" reads the caption. Democrats, on the other hand, widely supported the law, despite misgivings by candidate Samuel Tilden. Dominating this picture is the image of the cocked pistol and bullwhip, their meaning reinforced by menacing quotes-"Tilden or Blood"-printed on a profusion of papers. To cartoonist Thomas Nast, at this point, the commission was merely an institutionalized way to allow Democratic coercion to prevail.

Subsequently, however, the presumptive 15th member of the Electoral Commission, Justice David Davis, was elected to the U.S. Senate by the Illinois state legislature. Davis was assumed to be sympathetic to the Democratic position, so when his place on the commission was taken by Justice Joseph Bradley, a Republican, cartoonist Thomas Nast's view of the compromise improved considerably. In the end, the Electoral Commission would vote eight to seven to grant all the disputed electoral votes, and hence the presidency, to Hayes.
