font size    

A three-month exhibition on the atrocities committed by Hitler's Gestapo was opened in Beijing Tuesday.

The exhibition, featuring more than 200 photographs, is jointlyheld by the Beijing-based Memorial Hall of the War of Resistance to Japanese Aggression and a museum in northeast China's Shenyang city that is also dedicated to marking that period of history.

With three parts depicting the development, the crimes, and the doomsday of the Nazi Germany secret police, the display tells the crimes of German Nazis against Germany and other European nations they invaded during the Second World War.

Wang Xinhua, curator of the memorial hall, said the exhibition held in such a location is of special significance.

"German and Japanese fascists have brought disasters to European and Asian peoples. We are here to disclose the atrocitiesof the German fascists, and that also means we will never forget the catastrophe and losses the Japanese fascists have imposed on us," Wang said.

Statistics show that German Nazis built over 10,000 concentration camps in Europe, and killed some 6 million Jews during World War II.
