Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Fascism (11/09)

Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism — is a day of remembrance for tens of millions of people who died as a result of a gigantic, inhuman experiment. These are millions of soldiers whom fascist leaders pitted against each other, but even more than — civilians who died under bombs, in concentration camps, from disease and from hunger.

In 1962, it was decided to consider every second Sunday in September as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism, the main goal of which is to combat the ideology of the revival of fascism.

The date of the Day was set specifically for September, since this month marks two dates associated with the Second World War — the day of its beginning and its full completion. This was one of the reasons for establishing a day of mourning for September Sunday.

There is no country that would benefit from Nazi rule, there is no nation that would be enriched materially or spiritually as a result of their rule. The most terrible ideology is the one that makes a person guilty of birth only for the blood that flows in his veins.

Unfortunately, today in a number of countries politicians are trying to reconsider the results of World War II, and there is a gradual whitewashing and revival of Nazism.

But it is important to remember that the ideology of Nazism brought losses and destruction not only to those who opposed it, but also to those who fed it. Then, more than seventy years ago, the huge Nazi machine was stopped and destroyed. Soldiers of different nationalities fought shoulder to shoulder and won.

The slogan of today's memorable day is — to unite to resist neo-fascism.

International Day of Remembrance in every country that took part in World War II is celebrated not only by the cancellation of entertainment events and celebrations that fall on this date, but also by visiting monuments, memorials, and — cemeteries in many countries on this day it is customary to care for nameless, abandoned, mass graves.
