Brown Promises To Rebuild Auschwitz
Gordon Brown pledged to battle against “darkness” in the world as
he went on an emotional tour of Auschwitz with his wife Sarah
yesterday.
The Prime Minister saw gas chambers and the shaved hair of inmates –
which was collected and sold by the Nazis – along with piles of shoes
and spectacles belonging to those who were murdered. He was visibly
moved as he placed a candle at the Death Wall, where summary killings
by firing squad were held.
A State commission has found that more than 4,000,000 people perished
at Oswiecim between 1941 and the beginning of this year
