The Reverend Canon Michael Smith, Acting Dean of York, lights some of the 600 candles in the shape of the Star of David on the floor of the Chapter House of York Minster as part of a commemoration for Holocaust Memorial Day on January 26, 2022 in York, England. This year marks the 77th anniversary since the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945, which was the largest Nazi death camp. The Holocaust genocide took place during World War II during which Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million European Jews.
