60 years ago it was snowing too

Dusted by falling snow and surrounded by barbed wire, world leaders mourned the victims of the Holocaust on Thursday, the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the biggest Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

"The snow was falling like today, we were dressed in stripes and some of us had bare feet," Polish survivor Kazimierz Orlowski, 84, said.

Among the more than 30 heads of state attending the ceremonies were the presidents of Israel, Germany and Russia -- loosely representing the victims, perpetrators and liberators.

hmm... any important countries missing? i guess not.
