German consul Horst Jose Boogen holds flowers during a ceremony for those who died in Guernica, Spain, on the anniversary of the attack, April 26, 2012. The town was razed by a German bomber attack and some thousands of Basque citizens lost their lives on this day in 1937. The carnage has ever since stood as a symbol of man's cruelty to his fellow man, immortalized in Pablo Picasso's painting. (Alvaro Barrientos/AP Photo)
