Holocaust Memorial Day [View all]

On this day, 80 years ago, Auschwitz was liberated by people like my Father-In-Law, then with Patton's 3rd Army. It's a day we remember the victims, most of whom remain unidentified, were not buried in any cemetery, or under any tombstone and also a day to reflect on the existence of evil and how horribly people can treat one another.

My Father-In-Law, my uncles, and my parents (The Greatest Generation) would attest that Nazis were not and are not "very fine people."
