27 January 2020 - Liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp

January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Soviet soldiers at the end of WWII.  Reports state that the Russian soldiers were confused as to what they found at the camp.  What is even more interesting, is that the preservation of the camp as a testimony of the terrible things that took place there was done mostly by survivors.  Remembering both the good and the bad of history is important.  My dad was a veteran of WWII.  My mom was a college student during a lot of the war.  A recent study showed that 66% of millennials did not know what Auschwitz was.  22% of millennials said they had not heard of the Holocaust.  Yes, remembering is important.
