And I'm Tom. Today is January 27th, and we have some truly significant events to share with you.

👩
Sarah0:11

Let's start with the most important one. On this day in 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps in Poland.

👨
Tom0:22

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.

👩
Sarah0:33

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

👨
Tom0:41

Yes! Born in Salzburg, Austria, Mozart became one of the most influential composers in history. He started composing at age five!

👩

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

👨
Tom1:03

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.

👨

A historic moment that brought hope for peace. The accords were signed by the United States, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong.
