80th Anniversary of Liberation

 of Auschwitz-Birkenau Death Camp

"The museum on the site of the Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Oświęcim, Poland, marks the 80th anniversary of the camp's liberation in 1945 in the closing months of World War II on Jan. 27."

Shares the evolution of the site..which initially housed Polish political prisoners - those who voiced anything against the invading Germans. They included members of the Polish Scouting movement, who often assisted Polish Freedom fighters.

It was as time progressed, that anyone that was found undesirable would be brought here - where some where subject to experiments. Slowly it evolved to becoming a dreaded death camp. One speaker tells that 7000 Polish Christians were killed there, as well as gypsies, etc.

For history not to repeat - we must listen to what the survivors speak of.      Some were only 5 years old, when they witnessed things firsthand.
