After the 60th anniversary of the D-Day (I posted about that on 5th of June 2004), the World is marking the anniversary of the death camp liberation of Auschwitz these days.

This represents 2/3rds of the European Jews and about 1/3rd of the worldwide Jewish community at this time. 6 million people, it’s about the current population of Austria or Switzerland, annihilated in 6 years, 1.5 million children. One and a half million children were killed. God….
