International Day of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

27 January 2014 -- The United Nations has designated 27 January as an annual International Day of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. On this date in 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp was liberated by Soviet Red Army troops.

Auschwitz, in southern Poland, was the biggest Nazi death camp. Up to 6 million Jews, as well as hundreds of thousands of others deemed undesirable due to ethnic origin, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation, or other reasons were murdered during the Holocaust.

Every member nation of the U.N. has an obligation to honor the memory of Holocaust victims and develop educational programs as part of an international resolve to help prevent future acts of genocide. This year's theme is "Children and the Holocaust" and film screenings, exhibits and talks sharing children's stories during that era are being shared to spread awareness of their experiences.

Personality

Personality is the particular combination of emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral response patterns of an individual. Different personality theorists present their own definitions of the word based on their theoretical positions. Psychologists such as Freud, and Erik Erikson have attempted to come up with personality theories. 

Personality type refers to the psychological classification of different types of individuals. Personality types are sometimes distinguished from personality traits.

According to type theories, for example, introverts and extraverts are two fundamentally different categories of people. According to trait theories, introversion and extraversion are part of a continuous dimension, with many people in the middle.
