Gov. Ed Rendell urged Pennsylvania citizens today (Jan. 27) to “take a moment to reflect on the horrors of the past so that the lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten by future generations.” The governor's statement in Philadelphia coincided with international ceremonies in Poland marking the 60th anniversary of “the liberation of the nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.” He said “the name
Auschwitz will forever be a powerful reminder of the tragic events of the Second
World War” and that it is “a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust
itself.” |
