January 27th is the day dedicated to the Holocaust: here are some titles to watch and the programming of Sky and NOW TV.
On January 27th, 1945 the Red Army entered the Auschwitz concentration camp freeing the Jews who were imprisoned there and who, since then, could tell the crimes of the Holocaust. To remember this day and, in general, one of the darkest periods of humanity, in 2005 was established the International Day of Remembrance.
The goal is to keep attention high, talking about the subject in different areas so that it becomes a warning for the future. On Netflix and other streaming platforms you can find many titles on the subject: from movies to TV series, up to documentaries. In addition, for the occasion Sky is planning a dedicated schedule that will start on January 25, with many titles that can also be streamed on NOW TV. I contenuti sono di tanti tipi e possono essere usati come spunto per creare lezioni ad hoc nelle scuole o per conoscere nuovi lati della storia.
