THE BACKGROUND:  Saturday marked the 75^th anniversary of the beginning of a series of nightmarish atrocities that would not end until years later when, towards the end of World War II, allied troops led by United States Armed forces opened the gates and walked into the horror of Nazi concentration camps in Europe to liberate the emaciated remnants of Jews, gypsies, and other ethnicities of Hitler’s failed attempts at “the final [Jewish] solution.”

An estimated 11 million people were eliminated in killing centers such as Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, and others across Europe.  At least 6 million of those were Jews exterminated in these places of unimaginable revulsion. 

Holocaust survivor and author Elie Weisel stated that "while not all victims were Jews, all Jews were victims."
