International Holocaust Day

Today is International Holocaust Day.

On January 27, 1945 an advance group of scouts who broke away from their unit in Oswiecim in Poland, arrived at the gates of Auschwitz.

It was the day that the advancing Red Army began the liberation of the remaining living skeletons at the German death camp. 

Yesterday Richard Lutz the head of Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) admitted that today's German rail company is the successor to Deutsche Reichsbahn, and therefore bears a responsibility for the transporting of millions of people to the concentration camps.

Also yesterday the heads of Volkswagen and Daimler Benz, now known as Daimler AG, made a commitment to speaking out against anti-semitism and all forms of racism. 

They were among a number of companies who played a major role in supporting the Hitler terror.

In 2018 Holocaust survivor Salo Muller won a case against the Dutch railway company, whose predecessor carried him and his parents to a German death camp.

German Railways charged a railway fare to those they were transporting to their deaths.

Could there be anything more obscene and absurd?
