INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

By Hasse-Nima Golkar

A dark and bloody stain in human history:

After World War II, on January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated by the Soviet Red Army as they pursued and crushed Adolf Hitler’s fascist war machine in present-day Poland. Only the very weakest prisoners were left behind. Nazi Germany, on the one hand, tried to remove evidence of this massacre by destroying crematoria and gas chambers. On the other hand, the camps were emptied, and the innocent people were forced out on the “Death marches”.

Of the estimated 1.3 million people including; Jews, Roma people (“Gypsy”), communists, homosexuals, prisoners of war, mentally ill, … who were deported to Auschwitz, more than a million were massacred there in the fields and gas chambers who were identified only by numbers and without any names.

DON’T LET THIS SHAMEFUL CRIME BE A REPEAT OF HISTORY!

A writing on the prison wall:

Wenn es einen Gott gibt, dann muss er mich um Verzeihung bitten!

“IF THERE IS A GOD, THEN HE MUST ASK ME FOR FORGIVENESS!”
