The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops was attended by survivors, including Tova Friedman, who cautioned about resurging antisemitism and distrust in the world. This gathering is seen as the last major observance for many survivors to raise their voices against rising hatred. The anniversary honored the memory of the 1.1 million victims, predominantly Jews, murdered at the camp during World War II. UK polish President Duda participated in the ceremony, reflecting on Poland's tragic losses during the Holocaust.
Tova Friedman, an 86-year-old survivor, stated, 'I realize that we're in a crisis again, that there is so much hatred around, so much distrust.'
Polish President Andrzej Duda emphasized the significant loss for Poland during the war, recalling that '6 million citizens were lost during the war.'
