69 years atter Auschwitz, 70 years after Leningrad

It happened such a short time ago.

The siege of Leningrad ended on 27 January 1944. More than a million dead in this siege alone.

The liberation of Auschwitz took place on 27 January 1945. More than a million dead in this concentration camp alone.

Every once in a while when I see a frail old man and I wonder.
