The Belgian prime minister, Guy Verhofstadt, has inaugurated an exhibition in memory of Belgian victims of Auschwitz. The exhibition, which was inaugurated on 07 May, reveals the depth of a “regime of hatred, nationalism and racism,” according to the Prime Minister. “Every story about the Holocaust must be passed on, every detail must be retained, and every fact must be brought to light,” he said. Of the 30,000 Belgian Jews killed by the Nazis - about half of the Belgian Jewish population at the time - 25,000 were murdered at Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi death camp located in Poland.
