Today
it is 76 years ago since the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration
camp was liberated by Soviet forces. More than a million people,
mainly Jews, were killed there during the Second World War. The process
was conducted as an industrial process. To date, some of the goods
left behind by the victims of the Holocaust remain on display. These
include suitcases with name tags, spectacle frames, hair and shoes. I
have never visited Auschwitz and am not likely to.
January 27th is Holocaust Memorial Day, remembering all the victims of
the Nazi's policy of extermination of all those they considered to be
sub-human.
Holocaust Memorial Day remembers all victims of genocide.
We must never forget.

Things going on in the US these days make the holocaust seem much less like an aberration of the distant past. We must not forget.
