As the world observes the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a solemn atmosphere prevails, reflecting on the harrowing history of the Nazi death camp and the dwindling number of Holocaust survivors. Less than 220,000 survivors remain today, and only around 50 are expected to attend the anniversary events. Leaders and dignitaries, including monarchs and presidents, gather in Oświęcim, Poland, to hear powerful testimonies from those who lived through the horrors. Amid rising nationalism and antisemitism, the ceremonies aim to honor the victims and confront the difficult questions surrounding Holocaust remembrance. The legacy of Auschwitz serves as a reminder of the importance of fighting prejudice and ensuring such atrocities are never forgotten.
