文字稿
Good morning everyone! Welcome back to Today in History. I'm Sarah.
And I'm Tom. Today is January 27th, and we have some truly significant events to share with you.
Let's start with the most important one. On this day in 1945, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps in Poland.
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?
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.
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.
That's all for today's episode. Thanks for learning history with us! See you tomorrow.
Goodbye everyone! Keep learning, keep growing!
