It is also important to remember the 5 million other targeted victims (Gypsies/Roma, homosexuals, ethnic Poles/Slavs, Jehovah Witness members, Nazi-resistors, and others). And of course, The Holocaust Stamps Project particularly focuses on the 1.5 million children whose lives were extinguished.
I would like to take this day to thank the many members of Stamporama for their past support of this project through their donation of stamps (as well as cash from a few folks). Despite the problems of cross-border shipping, and the Covid pandemic, we are now over 500,000 stamps counted - one-third of the way towards our goal of 1.5 million (one stamp for each of those children's lives). And I would like to give a shout-out to Charlotte Sheer ("csheer" on SOR) for creating the original Holocaust Stamps Project and achieving their goal of 11 MILLION stamps collected before closing their doors in 2018; and supporting the rebirth in Canada.
SOR member Scott English is writing an article for the APS Journal that will focus on a prominent APS member and Holocaust Survivor who recently passed away. He previously wrote an article for their April 2020 journal https://stamps.org/the-american-philatelist on the original Holocaust Stamps Project and has indicated that he will mention our follow-up project. {I believe the APS also recently accepted the stamps collected by the original project to create a display}.
Here are the generous SOR donors who I thank immensely for their support:
. Mel Bohannon (mbo1142)
. David Parson (david13617)
. Richard Pauls (okstamps)
. David Provost (BermudaSailor)
. Edie Robbins (esrobbins)
. Steve Wilner (cardstamp)
. Theresa Young (philatelia)
. Bob Bidner (dell4c)
. Vic Deacon (sheepshanks)
. Jules Jelev (Cougar)
. Liz Jones (Patches)
. Pete Ware (BrightonPete)
. Keith Williams (gonefishing)
. Martyn Bonner (guyana1230)
. Michael Hyde (londonbus1)
. Manfred Muelders (opa)
Again, my humble thanks on this momentous day.

Each year, January 27th is designated by the UN as the "International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust" (the official name). It commemorates the Holocaust (the genocide of 6 million European Jews by Nazi Germany) and was chosen to commemorate the Soviet Red Army liberation in 1945 of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
It is also important to remember the 5 million other targeted victims (Gypsies/Roma, homosexuals, ethnic Poles/Slavs, Jehovah Witness members, Nazi-resistors, and others). And of course, The Holocaust Stamps Project particularly focuses on the 1.5 million children whose lives were extinguished.
