ETA:

I THOUGHT it was Remember the Holocaust Day. Greta Van Susteren from Newsmax did her show from there, but it's an older clip but still meaningful and true. It's still there and she described what happened in each part of the buildings. Very distressing but something we need to know. It is viewable on Youtube no matter when it was filmed.

January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.  You can check it out easily online.

As per their norm, Newsmax is reporting false info.

@Judaline    Isn't National Holocaust Remembrance day January 27? From where was she broadcasting? Maybe her show was a repeat. Or is there another day of Remember the Holocaust that is celebrated on January 1?I apologize if I am mistaken about this.

    To me, the  date  does not make a difference.

Unless, one watched the show and  heard  her exact words , then we don't know if  Ms Sustren mixed the date up .

In any event ,

To me it is important for  people all around the world to never forget the  horrors of the Holocaust and what was  allowed to happen politically  and culturally for so many atrocities to ensue.

Newsmax?  No thanks

Thanks for bringing that program to our attention, @Judaline .

I'm guessing that it's a special or documentary that Greta did in the past, and that it is being re-broadcast as part of a channel's year-end special programming.  I've been catching a few re-broadcast specials here and there on various networks.

That horrible, scarring era of history can never get too much focus.  As hard as such accounts are to watch, they have so much to teach.

Accurate reporting of facts in the media should be important to everyone, including dates.

@Oznell You could be right about Greta doing a recast.  She never changes so it's hard to tell! I remember watching her when Simpson was on trial. She looks the same.

I've read a lot of novels about the places she showed us and seeing it come to life tonight - well, I'll just say it's one of the eeriest things I've ever seen. It's hard to believe there are people who don't believe it ever happened. They walk among us.

@Mersha 

Many assumptions made abt her broadcast which airs again at 2am  on  Jan 2. I am going to watch  the broadcast to hear for myself as to what was said and to determine as to if it was a rebroadcast from a prior special that she aired abt the Holocaust .

@Judaline  You might want to read The Postcard by Anne Berest. It was the best book I read in 2023.
