Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

A souvenir leaf for International Day of Commemoration of Victims of Holocaust from 2008. Three years before, on November 1, 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 as an annual International Day of Commemoration for victims of the Holocaust. Verso: The resolution repudiates Holocaust denial, and member states are encouraged to develop “educational programs instructing future generations about the horrors of genocide and condemns … all manifestations of religious intolerance … based on ethnic origin or religious belief.”
