On the 63rd anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp in Oswiecim (Auschwitz), southern Poland, the world is commemorating the death of millions of victims who perished there. On January 27, 1945, 8,000 prisoners were liberated, including 500 children. Over 56,000 had been evacuated by the Nazis to Germany, in a 'death march', which itself killed thousands. Ceremonies will be held over the next two days in Oswiecim and Warsaw. In the capital, a special empty tram, symbolizing the absence of Jewish people in Warsaw, will be driven to the area of the former Jewish district, which later became the Jewish ghetto. In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Israel which designated January 27 as Holocaust Remembrance Day.

To all,
Let us all, never forget. Keep this in your heart for ever. Don't ever let this go on again, any where. Pray for those who gave there life's in this.
