Auschwitz: Hell in Poland
Read Time:57 Second
On January 27, 1945, the Soviet Red Army liberated the Nazi death camp known as Auschwitz. Today, 68 years later, the world remembers. January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Today in Berlin, Israel’s President, Shimon Peres received a stand ovation from German lawmakers, before addressing the German Parliament.
Special events will be taking place today in Auschwitz.
Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis in World War II, approximately one million at Auschwitz, along with Gypsies, Poles and dissidents of the regime.
There are believers around the world who say that the Holocaust is a hoax and that the evidence is fake. A quote from Republican president Ronald Reagan is appropriate: “Facts are stubborn things.”
To eliminate chaos, the Nazis told the hordes of people they shuttled into camps, they were going to work. On entering Auschwitz they passed beneath a sign above the entrance, reading “Arbeit Macht Frei”, or “Work Makes You Free”.

And so, this was one of the lowest points in human history. There were many others and will be more unless the entire human race becomes as enlightened as they think they are. Living in South Florida, I cared for many older patients who had their identifier numbers still tattooed on their forearms. I’ll never forget the first time I saw that and started to do my own research on this atrocity and slaughter of jews, Catholics, and so many more. Some good came from all of this in the form of those that were saved, promising to never do the same. There was art work and literary works also as a result. As I mention in my post today, read Victor Frankl’s work and you will be amazed at the strength of some of those impacted.
My family and I visited the Auschwitz site 4 years ago and it was something I will never forget, but I’m not naive enough to think it won’t happen again, because doubtless it will. People have a large and unforgiving capacity for hate.
Nie Wieder…..Never again.
