Dresden Commemorates World War II Firebombing 70th Anniversary

DRESDEN, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 13: People standing along the Elbe River across from the historic Dresden city center link hands to create a human chain in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Allied firebombing of Dresden on February 13, 2015 in Dresden, Germany. On February 13-14, 1945, U.S. and British bombers attacked in successive raids that devastated the city and killed at least 25,000 people. The formation of a human chain across thr city has become an annual occurrence that not only commemorates the bombing but also makes a statement against local neo-Nazis, who in years passed have sought to use the anniversary to their own ends.
