The Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, where over a million Jews were killed, marks its 80th anniversary of liberation.

Axar.az reports that now a museum, it attracts over two million visitors annually. However, concerns about some visitors showing insufficient reverence for the site are growing.

Survivors, returning to the camp for the anniversary, carry powerful personal stories of survival and emphasize the importance of remembrance. As the number of survivors dwindles, there is a growing focus on educating future generations to ensure the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten. The anniversary serves as both a time to reflect and a call to action against hatred and anti-Semitism.

World leaders, including King Charles, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and President Macron, will gather in Poland to mark the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation and Holocaust Memorial Day.

Survivors, including those who were children during their imprisonment, are invited, with special consideration for their emotional and physical challenges in attending.

A freight train car, symbolizing the deportation of Hungarian Jews, will be displayed at the former camp. The event also coincides with rising antisemitism in Europe, heightened by the Israel-Hamas conflict, underscoring the need for global reflection on the Holocaust's impact.
