We enter in the most sacred season for Christians the period of Easter. Christians believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Blessings on all Christians at this time. This year Easter is celebrated by the Western and Eastern churches in the same day (20th).

Today is the remembrance of 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz camp by the Soviet army. We remember the millions of victims murdered by the Nazi regime from 1933-1945 and in other times and places since then and hold in our hearts the hope ‘never again’.
