NATO's Undersecretary: Responded to Stop Auschwitz in Kosovo

In his speech to those present, Geoana said that the Holocaust was an insult to all mankind.

It was about destroying variables. And what makes us different, which makes us unique, is what makes us human. After World War II, the world's free countries sought a new path. A path built by maintaining universal values set out in the United Nations Charter. Such values as the right to life, freedom of religion, and freedom itself. NATO was created to protect these values and protect the people of Europe and North America from the tyranny that led to Holocaust. 50 years after Auschwitz, NATO intervened in Kosovo to prevent a new genocide on European soil”, Geoana said, as the official NATO site reports.

Recalling the Holocaust, he said that on January 27, 1945, the Soviet Army freed 7,000 souls who had remained alive in Auschwitz. But five years before that event, at least 1.1 million people had drowned behind the spines.

The Nazis killed more than 6 million Jews, but Roma, homosexuals, challenged people, and Jehovah's Witnesses. They killed them not for what they had done, but for what they were”, NATO Deputy Secretary General said.

He said he should always remember the reason for NATO's formation.

We must always be vigilant. And we always have to be prepared to act. For seventy - five years after the Holocaust, anti - Semitism continues. We can accept this”, Stoltenberg's deputy, Mircea Geoana, added.

He urged that on this day the commemoration be looked forward and necessary action be taken to ensure that “never again fall into the easy trap of hate against the others.
