Remembering Evil: International Holocaust Remembrance Day

On November 1, 2005, the United Nations Genera Assembly declared through an official resolution that January 27 is to become the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day, every member country of the United Nations is required to commemorate the effect of the evil that befell more than a million Jews. This day is to stand witness for all time, about the culpability that humans are capable of inflicting on their fellow humans.

 

Thomas Crapper Day commemorates the death of Thomas Crapper Jan 27 1910. Though Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (it had existed for the previous century) he perfected the flush mechanism. He was the founder of Thomas Crapper & Co. a manufacturer of many different sanitary appliances.
