Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the liberation (in 1945) of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp.
The Holocaust was Nazi Germany's attempt to systematically exterminate
the Jews in the 1930s and 40s. In addition to the persecution and murder
of approximately six million Jews during that time, the Nazis also
targeted other groups they considered inferior, including Gypsies,
Poles, Russians, Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses,
homosexuals, and the disabled. It is considered one of the darkest
periods in human history.
