President Bush issued a statement remembering the victims of Auschwitz. “At the Auschwitz concentration camp, evil found willing servants and innocent victims,” Bush said in the statement Tuesday. “For almost five years, Auschwitz was a factory for murder where more than a million lives were taken. It is a sobering reminder of the power of evil and the need for people to oppose evil wherever it exists.”
