The liberation of yet another Nazi death and concentration camp in 1945 and the death of Pol Pot who devastated Cambodia by his ruthless and capricious policies of who should live, who should be killed and who was destined to slave labor.<br />1. 1945: British and Canadian troops liberate the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.<br />2. 1998: Cambodian politician and revolutionary Pol Pot, who led the Khmer Rouge from 1963 to 1997, died at the age of 72.

The romantics have many lost love stories with the Titanic sinking in 1912; the breaking into a previously all-white institution by Jackie Robinson in 197 who truly was a pioneer for not many black men had risen into any profession; the British liberation of Bergen-Belsen in 1945 to show for all the criminality of Hitler&#39;s Reich.
