Ceremonies to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the camp will take place on January 27, with some 300 former Auschwitz prisoners taking part in the commemoration event. I found this color slideshow of recently taken color photos to be very eerie but well worth viewing - particularly the piles of shoes, glasses, and artificial limbs removed from the (likely dead) Jewish prisoners. The sign on their main gate, Work Makes You Free, was a bit too close to certain current US political ideology. Nazi Germany is an unfortunate example of Nationalism run amok.
