Lest we forget.

Every November 11th here in Canada (and around the world) we commemorate Rememberance Day. It's the one day each year we are asked to remember those who sacrificed their youth and their lives so that most of us would never need to know the horrors of war. We asked to remember and face the reality that there is evil in the world and that we must fight it, even if it costs us our lives. Today is another day which we need stop and remember. On a cold January day, sixty years ago Russian soldiers entered one of the most horrific places man had ever devised: the Auschwitz death camp. This was a place of unconsciounable horror and pain. Close to two million people were put to death at this camp because of the deranged ideas of a madman.
