Quote:
About 300 Auschwitz survivors have gathered at the site of the former Nazi death camp to mark the 70th anniversary of its liberation.
The commemoration will be held at the site in southern Poland where 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were killed between 1940 and 1945.

This reminder of what awful horrors man is capable of certainly puts things into perspective. It demonstrates perfectly what can happen to those (whether Jews or not) whose only crime is to be different in some way - innocent men, women and children. No doubt the likes of IS would have no compunction about following the same route, on the same scale and for the same reasons if they were allowed to...
It's vital that these horrors are remembered and learned from.
