Russia (bbabo.net), - Humanity will never forget the Holocaust - a terrible tragedy in its scale and cruelty that occurred during the Second World War. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a welcoming telegram to the participants and guests of the memorial evening "Keeper of Memory".
The event is held as part of the "Week of Remembrance" and timed to coincide with the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.
The President stressed that Russia is deeply saddened by the millions of innocent people - including compatriots - torn to pieces in the dungeons of concentration camps and ghettos, shot by punishers, who died of starvation and disease.
"And we are proud of the unparalleled courage and selflessness of the soldiers of the Red Army, allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, fighters of the Resistance movement, who liberated Europe and the world from Nazism, saved entire nations from extermination," the Russian leader said.
He expressed confidence that the duty of Russians is to preserve and pass on to future generations the truth about the events of the Second World War, as a common invaluable asset to protect and protect its true heroes.
In this regard, an important task is to stop attempts to justify the monstrous atrocities of the Nazi criminals and their accomplices. It is always necessary to remember the catastrophic consequences of pandering to nationalism, aggression, racism, anti-Semitism and Russophobia, Putin warned.
