Never Forget: 80 Years Since The Liberation Of Auschwitz
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp, a moment in history that stands as both a solemn reminder of unimaginable atrocities and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Anyone who has visited the camp describes the experience as harrowing, bearing witness to the unimaginable horrors and cruelty inflicted there.
On 27th January 1945, Soviet forces entered Auschwitz, uncovering the horrifying evidence of genocide.
Over 1.1 million people, including men, women, and children—most of them Jewish—were murdered at the camp during the Holocaust.
