War horrors must be told

ON January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated. The date is now marked as Holocaust Memorial Day. It was the most infamous of the locations used by the Nazis to carry out its Final Solution which saw the deaths of six million Jews and thousands of others including political prisoners, homosexuals and gypsies.

The horrors of the gas chambers, medical experiments and brutalities have gone down in infamy. But, 76 years on, we must remember them and teach our children about what happened to ensure that history is never repeated.
