Holocaust Remembrance
The Fences of Auschwitz
Holocaust Remembrance Day
Sunday April 15th, 2007
Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Nazis. The concentration camp, located 37 miles west of Krakow (Cracow), near the prewar German-Polish border, included extermination and forced-labor camps. On January 27, 1945, the Soviet army entered Auschwitz and liberated more than 7,000 remaining prisoners, who were mostly ill and dying. It is estimated that at minimum 1.3 million people were deported to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945; of these, at least 1.1 million were murdered.
The Nazi death camps took the lives of 11 million people throughout the course of the Second World War (1939-1945). Out of the 11 million, 6 million were Jews and 5 million were Poles, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gypsies, Afro-Europeans, Catholic Priests, Christian Ministers, children, the handicapped, and men and women of the German Resistance. Over all, the war caused approximately 55 million deaths. 25 million in the military and 30 million civilians.
It has been 62 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, and organizations devoted to keeping the memory and lessons of this conflagration alive have set aside April 15 as a day of remembrance.
