The World Honors LGBT Holocaust Victims on Day of Remembrance
Events will be held all day Tuesday to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz from Nazi Germany.
The world today marked the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the notorious Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, with memorials including those who were ordered to the Nazi camps because they were gay.
British Prime Minister David Cameron paid special tribute to all those who were persecuted under Nazi Germany in his Holocaust Memorial Day speech.
He said Tuesday was "a day to remember the victims of the Holocaust as well as the gay people, disabled people and Roma who suffered alongside the Jewish people during that awful time and those who have been persecuted in genocides that have taken place since."
President Barack Obama also paid tribute to the millions of people who were killed or imprisoned in the camps, adding that the recent terrorist attacks in Paris were a reminder of bigotry in the world.
