In memory of millions of dead people
 

Today it is 60 years since russian soldiers liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau.

For those who skipped history class, or ignored it, here are some data:

- With the WWII and the war against CCCP as an excuse, the nazis invented the "final solution" on the "jewish problem". The campaign was to exterminate all jews.

- Their campaign is called Holocaust.

- From 1941 to 1945 they killed over 6 million jews within and outside Germany.

- 1,5 million jews died because of hunger, slavery and executions in the ghettos all over East-Europe and in the camps.

- In Poland alone, 3 million jews were killed in camps dedicated for executions.

- The Einsatz units in the occupied part of CCCP, executed over 1,5 million jews.

- In the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, over 1,5 million people were killed. By gas or burned to dead.

NEVER forget it!
