Today, wherever racism, in however 'minor' a form, is tolerated, wherever liberties are curtailed for 'security', wherever difference of opinion is scorned or books, art censored, parallels to the initial stages of the Nazi plague are evident.
Let us never forget !
This, till now, unique crime against humanity must never be repeated.

Let us never forget that "freedom" was also part of Hitler's campaign slogan, that freedom is always incomplete without tolerance, respect for, and protection of, the rights of any and all minorities, that freedom is positive only in an inextricable linkage with democracy and justice - for all.

Six million Jews died in those Nazi death camps, part of the German Reich's "final solution," to eradicate Europe's Jewish population. Millions of others - Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, homosexuals, and political opponents (especially Communists and Socialists) - were also murdered during the Holocaust. Not only the gas chambers, but also neglect, starvation, abuse, and mishandling of prisoners wer used to kill approximately 1.5 million people in Auschwitz and near-by Birkenau (Auschwitz 2) alone.
