  • 60th Anniversary Liberation of Auschwitz - At the Auschwitz concentration camp, evil found willing servants and innocent victims. For almost 5 years, Auschwitz was a factory for murder where more than a million lives were taken. It is a sobering reminder of the power of evil and the need for people to oppose evil wherever it exists. It is a reminder that when we find anti-Semitism, we must come together to fight it.
  • Auschwitz-Birkinau death camps - Vice President Cheney will lead the United States delegation to Poland for the 60th commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkinau death camps.
