Holocaust

Between 11 million and 17 million people from many different groups, since Jews to ethnic Poles, Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other political and religious opponents were Holocaust victims. Approximately six million European Jews died during World War II, wich reprensents almost 60% of the Jewish population at that time.


Yesterday was the 65th aniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp (this date it's the International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD) since 2005, when the United Nations General Assembly designated it to), so we think there is no better time to remember what happened and make a tribute to those victims because they don't deserve be forgotten. This was one really shamefull time of our history that we pray that never wappens again, not close to it. It's the negative exemple from our society of the horrors of a dictatorship.

Jews people put stones in their graves because they last from 300 years, not 3 days like flowers; so there is our little white stone in their graves: a acclamation to them don't EVER be forgotten.

This was all really sad but nobody has the right to hide it.
