May 9 marks the 76th. anniversary of Victory Day.
After the taking of Berlin by the Red Army on May 2, and with Nazi Germany signalling its unconditional surrender on the 8th., millions of people finally celebrated on May 9, 1945 the end of the deadliest and most destructive war that Humanity has ever known.
More than 50 million people lost their lives in World War II. Among the crimes of Nazi-fascism, the horror of Nazi concentration and extermination camps ranks among the most heinous.
