The current Swiss Confederation President, Viola Amherd commemorated the Holocaust Remembrance Day and for once mentioned Roma.
Fico’s party, Smer-SD commemorated the Holocaust as well as the Genocide and stated: “On January 27, 1945, Soviet troops liberated the concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz – Auschwitz. It is time for reflection, to remember the memory of millions of innocent lives that were victims of the Nazi regime,” they said, adding that they will never forget the victims of the Holocaust.
Well, in view of Fico’s comments on Roma, there is a touch of doubt about this.
Today, on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, about 20 former prisoners of German camps and representatives of the Auschwitz Museum management laid a wreath and candles at the Death Wall in the former Auschwitz I. It was the first part of the celebration of the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the camp on January 27.
