To destroy is easier than to create, and that is why so many people are ready to demonstrate against what they reject. But what would they say if one asked them what they wanted instead?

It is coming out in 2027.

During the 1950s researchers at The Wiener Holocaust Library gathered over 1,000 accounts from eyewitnesses to Nazi persecution and genocide

They include eyewitness accounts of the liberation of the camps, including Auschwitz-Birkenau which was liberated by the Russian Army on this day in 1945

Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition to be held at University of Chester An exhibition to mark Holocaust Memorial Day will take place at the University of Chester.

"The exhibition highlights that the pogrom was more than smashed windows. Around 1,200 synagogues were attacked, many completely destroyed, and approximately 100 people were killed. Thousands more were interned in concentration camps in the following days" www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/2488343...

Ella and Otto Neumann were married in Prague on May 23rd 1917.

For my grandparents and for so many others the liberation of Auschwitz 80 years ago today, on January 27 1945, came too late. A happy family, like many.
Today, and everyday, I remember how my beautiful Czech family lived. #weremember

‘We’ve lost all hope’: Rohingya trapped as Bangladesh closes Myanmar border Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar are being detained and forced back by Bangladeshi border guards

"We are struggling just to survive. Food is scarce, clean water is a luxury, and every day feels like a battle to protect my family from the horrors unfolding around us.

But after the events this month against our people in Bangladesh, we have lost all hope" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation.

The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them.

We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed.

Czech Philharmonic Brings Musical Heritage to Carnegie Hall Over three nights, the Czech Philharmonic presented Dvorak’s concertos and more, including a rare performance of Janacek’s “Glagolitic Mass.”

'The real highlight of this visit was Janacek’s “Glagolitic Mass” on Thursday'

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
