11 April is the International Day for the Liberation of Prisoners of Nazi Concentration Camps. On this day in 1945, prisoners of the Buchenwald concentration camp rebelled. 

The huge network of concentration camps created in Nazi Germany and in the territories of the occupied countries became the site of the organized systematic murder of millions of people. Buchenwald was one of the largest in this network. During its existence from 1937 to 1945, over 56 thousand people of 18 nationalities were killed there, including 19 thousand Soviet prisoners of war.

The system of concentration camps in Germany was liquidated along with the defeat of Hitlerism, condemned in the verdict of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg as a crime against humanity.

Preserving the memory of the terrible events of the past is the sacred duty of every person. This should never happen again.
