this is deja vu news live from berlin as the world prepares to mark 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz concentration camps we hear firsthand from a survivor about the horrors experience there. thanks no. from the smoke from the chimney. and as the deadly coronavirus continues to spread more than 2000 people have now been in fact as new cases are detected within china chinese officials now say they expect the outbreak will only get worse we'll get

the latest from beijing. i'm nick spicer welcome to the program. the few remaining survivors are beginning to gather in auschwitz one day before the official ceremony marking 75 years since the liberation of the extermination camp even today the very word auschwitz is a synonym for man's inhumanity to man monday marks the anniversary of when the soviet army freed the camp and its remaining prisoners in $140.00 germany's nazi regime established the auschwitz concentration camp in occupied poland it was run by the s.s. the brutal military wing of the nasty party it was their deadliest and largest extermination camp in total 1300000 people were deported to auschwitz most of them jews sent there from all across europe nearly all of them were killed most of them

in the notorious gas chambers others were also sent to auschwitz who didn't fit the nazi doctrine such as homosexuals roma and sinti polish political prisoners and jehovah's witnesses but this week is of course about more than numbers it's about the people and as the world remembers those who survived and those who lost their lives for more i'm joined now by correspondent simon young where people are already gathering ahead of tomorrow simon. that's right nic i'm standing at the entrance of the original canberra streets one as it's now normally known and you know this is a place where thousands were incarcerated and many people were murdered but 75 years after the liberation of auschwitz incredibly enough some of the survivors who experienced what this place was like under the nazis are still coming back

every year we believe around 200 auschwitz survivors of different nationalities from countries around the world many of them jews will be coming here and want to tell their stories remind people of the brutality of the horrors of auschwitz and warn future generations about what the semitism is and what the holocaust was and d.-w. had the opportunity within the last few days to speak to and ask for it survivor he won't be coming this year she lives in israel and for her the pain of what she experienced here. too deep but she still wants to let the world know of her suffering and he's. not interested.

this is me. in the back of. my number 73200 and i. had to shout twice daily and counting. a pin. number then tipped 1000 the 100. like snow from the from the smoke from the. and they spend and she's from something came up korea. and. we just had to. understand that this is what happens.

when they train arrived there were prisoners who sought luggage they made to mountains of clothes of shoes of prude of bread. and if they found a book they somehow managed to bring it to the children's broke and there were some $2414.00 books in the book so afraid invented this very bill a library and you are in charge people being killed in gas chambers and blood is being burned in claremont gloria and i actually think they're in the air they cover their ass they're all the. grounding. they knew that our time will come in june we had 6 months grace to live between you we knew we knew we are going to die and

you and everybody knew that i won't ever go back to. that. hundreds and thousands of people go and step there on the ashes. or over all over the. place they're stepping on that that people. want to know how it. just looking simon at the people walking behind you and thinking of her words just it's so moving there's no escaping the history it would seem i guess there's a lot of mixed feelings about coming back for some people. well i think as you heard there inevitably they are and there is so much pain associated with auschwitz but as i was saying many of these survivors think it's so important to come to continue telling their stories and indeed there's a sort of special bond i think that exists between the existing auschwitz survivors

is a sense of reunion every year when they come but it's a dwindling number and you know it's hard to say exactly who will be here in many cases illness prevents some of these very elderly people from making the journey but those that have been here today many of them you know with tears in their eyes and with suffering but also showing sympathy even one woman was telling me that she remembers a german guard who who gave a warning to the people arriving saying you must also you're 16 and you're able and ready to work and that maybe even saved if you live she said so these are the kind of very personal stories that people have and as i say for many it's about warning future generations that really is the key motivation and what can you tell us about the commemorations to morrow at this point. to morrow will be a more official or more solo. ceremony with the presidents of poland and israel

also the german president and the french president will be here and other heads of state also those are $200.00 or so survivors as well laying wreaths since me and speeches will be made of course and there will be a honoring of the survivors in the memory of the 1100000 and probably many more who died here but also some sense of celebration that 75 years ago the horrors of auschwitz came to an end when serviette troops liberated the camps here. and young reporting from auschwitz thanks for that. and we will have more special coverage marking the 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz throughout today and monday here on t.v. for now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. 31 people are now
