Remembering the Holocaust

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

On January 27, 1945 the Soviet Army arrived at the gates of Auschwitz.

Germany and its collaborators killed an estimated six million Jews, 250,000 mentally and physically disabled people, two million Roma and 9,000 homosexual men.

And then the death of war. Twenty million Russians.

Every year the management of Mercedes Benz presented Hitler with a new car.
