IT'S BEEN 60 YEARS

60 years ago the Red Army marched into Auschwitz and revealed the full horror of the holocaust. 1 100 000 people lost their lives in this camp - among them 21 000 gypsies, 75 000 poles and 960 000 jews. 1 100 000 human beings exterminated.

Since there are many people who have a much greater knowledge of this than me, I'll leave you to read their articles. Remember what happened 60 years ago, but do not forget to look around and see what's happening today, in places like Sudan.

For some well written reflections on this anniversary day, have a look at this article in The Independent.
