It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/7 on 1 November 2005 during the 42nd plenary session.



The resolution came after a special session was held earlier that year on 24 January 2005 during which the United Nations General Assembly marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust.

January 27th is the date, in 1945, when the largest Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was liberated by Soviet troops.
Polish parliament votes to criminalize any mention, by citizens or foreigners, of Polish crimes during the Holocaust; would also make it illegal to use the term 'Polish death camp' anywhere in the world #HolocaustMemorialDay
