On the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, survivors and leaders gathered to remember the over one million Jews and minorities exterminated by the Nazis. As the population of Holocaust survivors decreases, rising far-right ideologies create concern. Historian Raz Segal noted a troubling blind spot in Holocaust studies regarding the implications of Israel's actions towards Palestine, labeling attempts to shield Israel as grotesque. Events took place globally, including Poland and the United Nations, emphasizing the importance of remembering the past amidst contemporary struggles against anti-Semitism and fascism.
The commemoration comes as the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles worldwide and far-right forces gain strength across Europe and the United States.
Since October 2023, so many Holocaust scholars have gone out of their way to protect Israel; it's very grotesque.
