Since 1996, when former German president Roman Herzog declared the 27th January a National Day of Remembrance, the Bundestag commemorates the Nazi regime?s victims, as the 27 January marks the day of the liberation of former concentration camp Auschwitz, by the Soviet red army, in 1945. Many Jews, Roma and Sinti, homosexuals, Slavs, handicapped individuals, political prisoners and others were killed in the Nazi genocide, prior to the beginning and during World War II. This year's Bundestag commemoration focuses on people who were persecuted under National Socialism because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. EPA/FILIP SINGER
