Camps for internally displaced persons on the outskirts of Goma, the capital city of North Kivu province in the eastern DRC, have been gradually dismantled since the rebel group known as M23 announced its capture of Goma in January.

Many of the occupants there now have to live in iron-sheet shelters near their former camps, facing severe hardships such as food shortages, lack of clean drinking water, and unsanitary conditions. (Xinhua/Zheng Yangzi)

The Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp was established by the German Nazis in 1940, in the suburbs of the Polish city of Oswiecim, 300 km from the capital Warsaw.

Comprising over 40 camps and sub-camps, it was the biggest of the more than 1,000 concentration camps built by the Third Reich during the World War II. At least 1.1 million people were killed there.

The camp was liberated by the Soviet Army on Jan. 27, 1945, a date now recognized globally as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. (Xinhua/Zhang Fan)
