On this solemn day, we remember and honor the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust: six million Jews, 250,000 people with disabilities, 250,000 Romani people, nearly 2,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses, and countless LGBTQ+ individuals, all targeted and murdered by the Nazi regime.</description><author>Office of Communications &amp; Marketing</author><image><img xmlns:ouc="http://omniupdate.com/XSL/Variables" src="/news-events/downstate-update/2026/january/_images/holocaust.jpg" alt="holocaust"/></image><loc>/var/staging/oucampus/suny-downstate/downstate/news-events/downstate-update/2026/january/01-27-holocaust-remembrance.xml</loc><tags><tag>observances</tag></tags><categories/></item>
