Auschwitz concentration camp

27 January marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most potent symbols of the horrors of the Holocaust. This is the day chosen by the governments of a number of European countries—including Sweden, Italy, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Estonia and Britain—to commemorate the victims.
