That's right. This is why January 27th is now observed as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's a day to honor the millions who suffered.

Moving to a brighter note, did you know that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on this day in 1756?

Also on this day in 1880, Thomas Edison received a patent for his electric incandescent lamp. This invention literally changed how we live.

👨

Absolutely. Before that, people relied on candles and gas lamps. Edison's light bulb paved the way for modern electrical lighting.

And finally, on this day in 1973, the Vietnam Peace Accords were signed in Paris, ending direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War.
