In today's Gospel we read of the solidarity of peoples.
On this date 70 years ago, the Soviet Army arrived at the gates of Auschwitz.
Over 1.2 million people had been killed at the German camp. In all, the Germans slaughtered over six million people in the death camps.
Today is also the 71st anniversary of the ending of the siege of Leningrad, now St Petersburg. It lasted 900 days.
At Leningrad one million Soviet citizens lost their lives.
News outlets these days refer to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. Why not call it what it was - A German death camp. It was the Germans who caused the slaughter in all those camps, at Leningrad, on the Volga and right across Europe.
