Dozens of people laid flowers at the monument to the victims of the Holocaust on January 27, remembering the Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps. With tears in their eyes, old and young people observed a two-minute silence in honor of the relatives and friends whom they lost in the Auschwitz ‘death camp’ in Poland, Info-Prim Neo reports. Alexandr Bilinkis, president of the Jewish Community, said the Holocaust is an event that makes the people shudder as thousands of Jews died in agony. “The ‘death factory’ spared no one. We come here because we want such events never to happen again,” he said. The event was attended by the leader of the Communists Party Vladimir Voronin. “For me personally, the Holocaust is a sad memory and a lesson that the Communists Party promote as we are all equal and should respect every nation,” said the former President of Moldova. School head Svetlana Climena said every year the teachers together with the students come to the monument to the victims of the Holocaust this day to lay flowers for all those innocent who were killed. “By this action, we try to transmit the truth about those horrible events to every generation so that they never repeat. Thousands of guiltless people died then. We should remember these events and not tolerate terrorism and anti-Semitism,” she stated. Eugenia Mizacovskaia, who came to laid flowers at the monument, said she found out about those events from her grandparents. “Those stories follow me. I come to commemorate those innocent persons who were killed every year. I will tell my children about those tragic events. We should never allow such tragedies to happen again,” said the young woman. Those who survived in the Auschwitz concentration camp were set free by the Soviet troops on January 27, 1945. A lot of countries have celebrated yearly the International Holocaust Remembrance Day since 2006.
