what is the significance of the dates: 6 April 1917 and 8 December 1941?

April 6, 1917 - World War I: United States declares war on Germany.
December 8, 1941 - World War II: After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day, the U.S. Congress passes a declaration of war against Japan, bringing the United States of America officially into World War 2; Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin casts the only "no" vote. In response,
Hitler's Germany declares war on the United States.
Probably meant that ^ ...
But in an eerie coincidence, something else happened on December 8, 1941:
December 8, 1941 - Holocaust: First Nazi use of gas vans on Jews, at the Chelmno camp near Lodz.
