Today is [International Holocaust Remembrance Day](http://www.ushmm.org/information/exhibitions/online-features/special-focus/international-holocaust-remembrance-day?ref=bklyner.com), designated to coincide with the 69th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Oswiecim, Poland by the Soviet Red Army.

Instead of waxing philosophical about this dark stain upon the annals of humanity, I thought I would share this quote by Rabbi Marvin Hier from a June 29, 2010 [opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times](http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jun/29/opinion/la-oe-hier-holocaust-overuse-20100629?ref=bklyner.com):

> The enormity of the crimes of the Holocaust was such that if you were to try to call out 2,000 of the names every day of the 6 million who perished, it would take more than eight years to complete the task. That’s what a holocaust is.
