Remember those who were murdered in the Holocaust, but also remember those who died in its aftermath:

Remember those who survived the Holocaust only to go “home” to communities that still wanted them dead; communities often filled with former Nazis and Nazi collaborators. Many of these Holocaust survivors were murdered in pogroms and riots. According to Yad Vashem, “Antisemitic gangs murdered approximately 1,500 Jewish survivors in Poland alone, in the first months after the liberation.”

Remember those who survived torture and medical experimentation in the Camps, only to die some time post-liberation of the aftereffects.

Remember those who survived the Holocaust only to die of illnesses previously contracted in the Camps; or to die, in their weakened state, of starvation and exposure to the elements.

Remember that liberation was not the end of the story.
