Many Horrors Come To An End

On May 7, 1945, Germany unconditionally surrendured to the Allied forces.  On May 8, 1945, everywhere in countries aligned with the Allied Forces the people celebrated Victory in Europe Day.

The horrors of World War II never ended in many ways.  Over 60 million people had died as a result of the worldwide conflict initiated by Nazi Germany and Japan.  Many major cities had been destroyed.  Homelessness and famine remained.  Sorrows upon sorrows were fresh in everyone's minds. The guilt and shame sunk deep in millions of minds.
