The Independent actively covers pressing societal issues, from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. Focusing on journalistic integrity, they highlight crucial stories without paywalls. A poignant reflection comes from Manfred Goldberg, a Holocaust survivor marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. He recalls the moment that saved his life and emphasizes the dwindling number of survivors who can attest to the horrors of the Holocaust, warning against rising antisemitism and denial.
Manfred Goldberg was just 13 years old when stripped to his skin and shuffling toward an SS guard at a Nazi labor camp in Latvia.
Goldberg followed the advice and the guard directed him to the group selected for slave labor. It was only later that he realized that the younger prisoners were sent to die.
Monday's ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz is more than a moment to remember some 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
At a time when Holocaust denial and antisemitism are on the rise, the few remaining survivors bear witness to the Nazi genocide.
