Holocaust Remembrance Day 

Today makers the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz which has become the Holocaust Remembrance Day. Jews and Roma were singled out for racial reasons, while many others, Poles, Russian prisoners of war, homosexuals, Jehova witnesses, etc. were also victims of this madness.

A short first sample of the press releases on this day. A very honourable mention for the Canadian Prime minister who also included Sinti and Roma.
