World Leaders and Survivors Honor 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation

Commemorations at Auschwitz highlight the enduring lessons of the Holocaust as antisemitism and intolerance persist globally.

The 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation was marked by global leaders and survivors at the former Nazi death camp in Poland.
Speakers emphasized the importance of remembering the Holocaust to combat rising antisemitism, racism, and intolerance today.
Survivors, including 99-year-old Albrecht Weinberg, shared harrowing personal accounts of life in Auschwitz and other camps, underscoring the need to preserve these stories.
Irish Premier Micheal Martin and other dignitaries reaffirmed commitments to Holocaust education and denouncing all forms of discrimination.
The event is likely the last major commemoration where survivors can attend in person, making their presence and testimonies particularly poignant.
