MEPs stand silent in memory of holocaust

Members of the European Parliament stood for a minute of silence this morning to pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp.

Parliament President Josep Borrell said it was important never to forget what happened during World War II, where the Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler killed millions of Jews, homosexuals, Slavs, Gypsies and handicapped people.
