A commemoration was held on Monday, where leaders laid wreaths in remembrance and urged people to stand up against anti-Semitism
Hundreds of Holocaust survivors gathered together in southern Poland on Monday to honor those who died under Nazi control at Auschwitz.
An estimated 1.1 million people, mostly Jews from across Europe, were killed at Auschwitz I and nearby Auschwitz II-Birkenau, in gas chambers or from systematic starvation, forced labor, disease, and medical experiments. Other powerful images showed survivors and their families walking through the very gates that held them hostage for so long. The German phrase, “Arbeit Macht Frei,” which translates to “Work sets you free,” can still be seen written above the doors.
