Answer:
Read about the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Why is this document so special and important for every human being?
The Second World War ended in 1945 and took a heavy toll on the civilian population. When the atrocities and crimes of the Nazi Germany came to light, they shocked all the civilized world, which, in turn, contributed to the creation of the declaration containing inalienable rights of every human being regardless of their place of birth, origin, religion or age.
