The Auschwitz horror

Sir, — Exactly 60 years ago, on January 27, 1945, the Soviet Army liberated a concentration camp in Auschwitz and unearthed the cruelty of the Nazi regime. An estimated four million to six million people, including Jews, gypsies, and Allied Prisoners of War, are believed to have been exterminated in the camp. One of the architects of the Final Solution, Adolf Eichmann, supervised the operation personally in Auschwitz. He fled to Argentina after the war, was tracked down by the Mossad in 1961, abducted to Israel and hanged for war crimes in 1962. On this occasion, we should resolve not to allow such crimes against humanity in future.

Atul Srivastava,
Gorakhpur, U.P.
