this is c w news live from berlin the last a living witnesses gather to mark 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz survivors are there today as our world leaders to honor those killed at the nazi extermination camps with anti semitism on the rise there is a sense of urgency to remind the world about what happened there.

i'm sorry kelly welcome today marks 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz extermination camp survivors and world leaders have gathered there today ahead of the official ceremony that is due to start shortly the morning beginning with a recent laying ceremony to honor those who the nazis murdered there and which we're looking at right now these are some of the last remaining auschwitz survivors . while the event it is being hosted by the polish president andre duda we will hear from him shortly he invited dozens of world leaders to today's official ceremonies including the german president. and israeli president why even rivlin. well the name auschwitz is soaked in images of cruelty of the worst kind it was on this day 75 years ago that the soldiers of the soviet army liberated the nazi extermination camp in poland those

who found who were found alive were starving and traumatized the soldiers also found evidence of mass murder it had started as a work camp but ended as a place of extermination nazis who ran the camp murdered more than a 1000000 people here well today auschwitz birkenau is a memorial site a museum a research center it's aim to keep memories alive and aid efforts to fight anti semitism and zina phobia did abuse mark erath went to take a look for himself. works sets you free this cynical nazi slogan looms above the entrance to the auschwitz memorial horrors were committed here now it has become an important tourist destination for visitors from all around the world over the past 10 years visitor numbers have doubled. more than $2000000.00 people now visit auschwitz every year. it is

heartbreaking to see how cruel people can be and it's it's very moving to hard not to cry and we feel the. first time that you see the 1st time in person that's pretty reset itself is really important like it places even greet people kind of impression about what happened to people when true and so on but i think that we are paying too much attention to the buildings to the place itself to the general names and things like that and to small attention to what was really important so where he came from. the memorial sites he said to add new exhibition aversions to accommodate all the visitors pavel's there vicky said he's the only ending stream of guests has posed a real challenge. the numbers of visitors that we're getting are already overwhelming this is logistically difficult operation so we are also planning to build a completely new visitor center that will be slightly at the side of the historical

. site of the comp and it will also help us from does very well just a cool point of view. even that bit so winter cold doesn't stop people from visiting the barracks in the here from the concentration camp. here the nazis murdered more than 1000000 people mostly jews they died through malnutrition disease or in the gas chamber. now the barracks or crime. but renovation work has started the goal is that they look like the original yet are sturdy enough to withstand hard winters a task that may take decades to accomplish. just the reconstruction work calls for great diligence to restore the structure to the original state. it is very painstaking work that requires great accuracy and attention to detail we don't

human to do everything in advance in order to be able to restore the place accurately and something that says you. precision is also key when it comes to preparing items to go on display in this case conservation material used in the past has to be carefully removed because it is now understood to be damaging the exhibits the goal is not to repair objects but to preserve them. these objects reflect the history of auschwitz so there deformation contamination the fact that some objects are not complete all this is testimony to what happened here. still there are plans to change the exhibition the present one was largely designed in the fifty's by survivors who focused on the fates of victims pictures of the perpetrators were hardly bearable for them which in the future very history will be included as well when we ask one

of the most important educational questions about the story for us which is the question why does not the story about the victims does a story about people who accept a decidedly older g. chose to join the nazi party cho chose to join the s.s. and day where here and they were working and at the same time they were bringing up their children. it's been 75 years since auschwitz was liberated germany is now providing a total of $120000000.00 euros to support the site to ensure the horrors of the holocaust are not forgotten. well let's get more now on this historic day we are joined here in the studio by john barack he's a correspondent and has covered past events at auschwitz and we also have a cough who's president of germany's union of jewish students welcome to both of you and thank you for being here today john i'd like to begin with you because you've been to many commemorations of this sort in the past but this is really

a very special one today where it's a particular one because of course it's the on the birth 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz it's also the 20th anniversary i think it's the 20th anniversary of the stockholm accord which was the 2nd that the ration which was an agreement among countries to combat anti semitism it was made on the 27th of january intentionally to reflect our day and it's also the 15th anniversary of the of the united nations declaration of the 27th of of january as being the being the memorial day so yes it is a very special memorial all. because as we've mentioned most of the survivors now of really quite elderly people and on those know with they'll be around for the next major. of a saree and how does that make you feel michelle i mean knowing that going forward knowing that this this might be among the last times that we're going to hear these

individual speaks these individuals who witnessed the horrors of humanity. it makes me feel a bit. afraid but also curious because we will have to figure out how we members will look in the future. and it's also a big responsibility to us i mean and i'm sure you through to the sentence when you listen to a witness you become a witness and of course we can't imagine what happened there and we can't tell about what happened there but we can listen and retell the story but the same time i think yeah it will be hard challenge to find new ways of remembrance there's also a very hard challenge facing us we have to talk about the current environment the current environment for anti semitism john you know it's been on the rise including here in germany where we are reporting from today just walk us through what we have been seeing and fill us in on the back story here and i think there's

a whole new dimension to neo nazi groups today. anti semitism has been around for a long long time it wasn't invented by the nazis speaking somebody who's done a lot of reporting on religious affairs and it is a sad and shameful chapter of christianity for example that both the catholic church and the boston church is presented over centuries a religious and to sever to some it's not exact to be compared with naziism of course but a religious anti semitism which based incidentally on quite iranians theology which is accepted by 5 moderns religions and that prepared the way for racist anti semitism which was a new form. i think the what has happened now and this is partly i think because of the digital revolution and the internet of the darkness and so on that we find networks of anti semites and neo nazis an example just very briefly

example just last week the. germany's justice minister. interior minister horst hoover said that he was going to ban combat 18 diatribes which the neo nazi group to the raids. states in germany but this is an offshoot of a british neo nazi group called combat 18 there is also was also just last week the f.b.i. doing raids against neo nazis of a group called the platform in in america these are vehement anti semites but their leader is in fact in russia and this of course makes it extremely difficult for national governments to to combat it's as difficult as combative child pornography for example and i just want to tell our viewers actually what you're looking at there on your screen in that small window that is to the side of us

we're just waiting for the ceremony in fact to begin and when we do we're going to be hearing from representatives from from poland germany israel as well as 4 of the survivors of auschwitz birkenau and with out of that to turn to you we should to get your reaction in fact to what we were just hearing john talk about that is the rise of anti-semitism that we have been seeing in recent years i mean 75 years ago the world was shocked by the horrors of auschwitz the world said never again and now we've had this rise in sentiment i mean how are you processing that as somebody who is young who is jewish who's living in germany i don't think of the rise of think it's more visible we discussed it with you before 46 we have to say we had the same amount of absolutism and didn't do it haven't disappeared from one moment to the other but what we have now an environment where you can. tell you hate like

we have figures like bo's johnson donald trump all those people who are just saying what they think without any barriers of morality or of barriers of moral and. so i think it's more visible i think we have to find as. population as the generation the target we want to attend because i think also that we say whatever we want and we that we don't want to be a society. is based on the fact that we now actually living a pretty good life we don't need anything we achieved a good level and diverse and countries so what is the next step we have to ask us and what is the next that we have to take our society probably to. convert environmental change environmental change but yes i don't think it's a rise it's just more visible and. but there has been a rise excuse me if you there has been

a rise. in violence the sorts of attacks on that's what i mean larry but out of some of them is not like that action based on and those in the prison yes and to some of those in itself is the way of thinking a way of how you see the world and i think the view was said before the holocaust. continued off the roots and this is certainly something that we're going to continue to discuss and continue to flush out over the next hours as the ceremony starts to get underway now that both of you are going to be with us throughout the duration putting it all into perspective but in the meantime we do have our correspondent who is standing by for us directly at auschwitz birkenau and i'd like to bring her in now to get some perspective. in our chief political editor is there for us and if you can hear me i'd like to ask you. this is really the symbol of the horrors of the holocaust we had more than 1100000 individuals murdered there what is happening there today to mark the 75th anniversary of its liberation.

well at the very core of this commemoration there is a ceremony of which we've already been able to see some live pictures particularly of the survivors gathering there we're told that some 200 survivors will be present the polish president speaks but also the president of the world jewish congress and 4 survivors will be speaking there as well and actually at the gate that so a pit in my eyes is auschwitz that's the image that we all think of when we hear the word one of europe's biggest tens has been put up around that in particular because those few survivors who are still left very old indeed some of them around 100 years old i spoke to 96 year old lady yesterday so the aim is to keep themselves from the freezing temperatures on the day 75 years ago when i was

liberated it was even colder than below minus 20 degrees today it's around about minus one degree celsius but that was also the kind of terrible conditions those survivors were founded when the red army arrived here with many of course then not living. for more than just a couple of days because the conditions were so terrible so all of this will be commemorated at the entrance and just behind that is what is known as her which is where the selection took place and there is actually a memorial there and some survivors will actually we're told be walking and that's a couple of 100 meters there to lay down a wreath to also light a candle there and this ceremony is is very much about those last survivors as as you have highlighted there and tell us

a little bit more about them. yes absolutely. survives are very much at the center of this i had the opportunity to meet a few of them who actually went to the auschwitz one camp yesterday that was quite a moment seeing some of them who have never been back to us with since they were incarcerated here for the very 1st time the ones i spoke to were very eager to speak and to share their story and today we will hear both from survivors jewish survivors but also a roma woman who survived who came here as a child and also a polish resistance fighter who came to this camp and many poles were sent initially just for being polish and particularly those who were fighting the nazis also ended up in auschwitz very often so we will probably be hearing not so

much their own personal stories that many survivors here are very keen to stress that they simply don't want this to ever happen again you can feel the historical weight on their shoulders to pass on that message that yes germans were capable of doing this humans were capable of doing this and that's also why the overarching message here is we have dark premonitions because we know that the kind of overarching message that everybody's agreed on here did he achieve political editor may have the corner standing by at auschwitz birkenau as we wait for the ceremony to get underway this 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz mahela we'll check back with you soon. as we heard there not many survived auschwitz and time is taking a toll on those who did leaving fewer each year who can tell of the horrors firsthand a few of these have returned to the site of their help as witnesses of the past

with a message for the future. and sawyer's. with the help of her grandchildren jeannette beagle has made to difficult journey back to auschwitz. the 96 year old was deported to here from vienna a juror in the wall and not only did she survive life in this notorious camp but she also survived the death march when the nazis fled auschwitz at the end of the war taking some of their presidents with them. the monsters one brave. and then came a growing old the russians are very close friends who are all knowing the law and every new few. need those somebody injured to step over because if you couldn't march destruct it was to bring you.

david language originate from poland also survived auschwitz he moved to the troops he can never forget what he saw and heard. of that there were sirens there night and i said to the people that were there before the strike. and and they said they're. making rays on their camp i says what kind of rays he says they're sifting through do able bodied from day one since they considered help able bodied and then will and should be able to not be able bodied are being born to become authorial and eliminate the able bodied their love to share in the camp and take them to work and i said. oh my god this is how the list is that a preference. how's this going up i know it's everything very random anybody can just be selected to go through all this i need minutes and only because i said i

can't sit in this place. but 70. 5 years after the liberation of auschwitz these memories on dying out. anti semitism though when he went back is still very much alive. but. time for action played on to cement his name did not die. and to have to be very careful. and you're watching news still to come on this special coverage we will be going live to that ceremony at auschwitz for full coverage when it begins shortly the commemorations translate into foreign languages. and well a ceremony is marking 75 years since soldiers entered the camp and liberated the surviving prisoners it was on this day in 1945 that soviet troops found the

horrific evidence of what the nazis had been doing germany's government establishing auschwitz as a work camp in occupied poland back in 1940 it was the largest concentration camp in total more than a 1000000 people would were deported to auschwitz most of them of course were jews from across europe nearly all of them were killed as the work camp turned into a place of extermination the nazis used gas chambers for their industrial scale murder auschwitz also the scene of mass murder of non jews roma sinti polish political prisoners gays and christians and jehovah witnesses dissidents who opposed the regime now our reporter met with one of the remaining jewish survivors and here's more of my time in his one bedroom apartment in berlin dotted levine lives here alone his wife has moved to a nursing home he's one of the last remaining survivors his parents and siblings

were murdered there over 75 years ago. that's me that's my brother and another brother and my sister. the 94 year old was born in warsaw to a jewish family during the nazis reign of terror he was sent to 4 different concentration camps. i give all the question why. i can't answer that today. i can't even think about it why. why a 9 year old girl who hadn't done anything who hadn't sinned why did they murder why. all 4 sons again she hadn't done anything in life only because she had a different tree. it was 19 when auschwitz was liberated. while there he was forced to work in the gas chambers as

a slave labor of the german company that produced the deadly gas. i worked down in the gas chambers we collected the cycling gas. you just turn into stone you know what i mean. the horror is hard to comprehend for many years it has returned to auschwitz at the end of january. this day is an anniversary for me it's an anniversary of duff. this year is no different krakow airport every year the custodians of auschwitz bring survivors together on the anniversary marking the liberation of the german extermination camp. but the interest this year is higher than usual. the press contingent for the 75th anniversary is huge the hits

a listen to the last living witnesses and their stories of the hell that was. one day i found out that my brother was shot. to this day i still don't know why. and i can never get over the. oh. sorry i can't go on. i'll start crying. start crying. i can't continue. it. it has to cut his talk short it's like he can still feel the beatings today he tells us 75 years after the liberation of the auschwitz concentration camp.

moving accounts of the horrors of what happened at auschwitz let's bring back now john beric from d.w. and we also have a mission president of the german union of jewish students and john i'll begin with you talk with us about how you know following generations have dealt with these memories have process them. here in germany of course immediately after the war the generation that had experienced the war and the defeat. tended by and large to deny any complicity it was there were jokes about it among the allied occupies of germany that it was impossible to find anybody who had been a nazi in germany when asked oneself had been possible for hitler to run the country it was so many people against him. be that as it may with judging it necessarily people shock and trauma there was a big turnaround in the 1960 s. when the student revolved the students in the late 1960 s.

confronted their parents and their grandparents asking them where were you when all this was happening. what did you not do what did you fail to do what did you. and that makes germany of the german processing of. this particular rabid form of anti-semitism that led to the holocaust. virtually unique at least the jewish american philosopher susan newman says in her view it is unique and was particularly effective in for at least for a generation in making anti-semitism in absolutes of blue in germany and west germany it would be unthinkable in this country even today to have a statue somewhere to a nazi era general in the way that you have really compare these things exactly but i for the sake of comparison in the way that there are generals of the civil war in america or the southern states where there are statues of them this is the

unthinkable in germany in these terms however what we're now seeing is of course the memories of the 2nd world war and the horrors that you spoke of receding so that there is a danger that they will become to a younger generation which is not a very normal. something very distant rather like the napoleonic wars don't directly affect them. and that is why i mean ms newman says and i think she's right that what made it so effective was it was that in the sixty's it was a grassroots movement it was young people themselves a very a popular movement and i think that is the real challenge for people like your generation you know and to teenagers michel what's your reaction to that i mean do you feel that sense also from your peers and when you hear these stories these accounts of what happened at auschwitz what do you feel what do you think what are you hearing among your peers what does it mean to you. i was in front of us

within the holocaust pretty. when i was pretty young in the elementary school i was in the jewish elementary school and we had this topic there and i was good in reading so i had the chance i don't know if this was a good opportunity to read texts about the what can be really shocking 1st formal child. it affects me a lot and i. myself to questions 1st of all. really like real human beings have done this to other real human beings and how this happened but the question which makes him all. expects that is why no one said anything i mean everybody and not in germany because in germany you had this regime in the regime and this is hard to

imagine how to live in a regime like this but in france in the states in great britain. the complicity the complicity everybody knew of. heschel sat in the seventy's about the vietnam war some are guilty but in the end all are responsible and why no one said anything about it and i think talking about the generation today we could also start especially as german people who say never again is our responsibility and only the process of the sixty's made it possible for jews to live again in this country and call this home and one of my biggest role models could follow was one of the leading roles in this process is to search and world where is this happening again because never again is a lie it's happening now a days and almost like they let's look at in fact you know i think for never again you have you have to have an assessment of what actually happened we have

a firsthand account now that i'd just like to actually bring in for our viewers an account of the liberation from a 96 year old former russian squadron commander he says that they have initially had no idea of what kind of camp it was they only had the order to minimize shooting as they approached have a listen. then we sure do you know as we approached the camp there was a smell of burning in the air. force we were already used to the smell of burning we had come through ukraine and had seen and gone into burnt down cities and into towns that were still burning. but they smell was somehow acrid yet. our comrades from a different regiment entered the camp from a different side. more models but the worse the point if they told us that when they went in they saw burning and smoldering stacks.

that camp guards had stacked timber then piled on the corpses then more timber and more body is all in stacks you put droog on evo they poured gasoline on it all and lit it on fire so our comrades saw those stacks when they were still smoldering . and the smell of that smoke really was everywhere in the area even when we left that smell of burning stayed with us for a long time of course the those moments of realization of what exactly was happening there as you know he's walking through and and seeing these horrors john . talk with us a little bit more about those moments in fact before the liberation because those were particularly trying ones for those who had survived up until that point at

auschwitz but here's the thing. the nazis of course who were running the camps the germans who were running the camp as the red army the russian army advanced. across that part of what is now poland. they the nazis tried to destroy as much evidence as they could. they destroyed also the credits or here and they forced most of the people anybody who could walk they forced them to go on what came to be known as the death match where they marched them west away from the advancing red army. to. 2 interned them again in in other concentration camps close to the german capital and then many many people died on this route as mahela was saying it was the temperatures were somewhere around about 20 degrees below 0 and these were people who were amazed that you had

been fed and what you will. and. they suffered appalling. i think the question of shame if i could say this you know the shame that the germans. came as i said earlier at a much later point it came it was denied people went into a front can understand the guilt. and shame must mean so huge that there was also of course quite perhaps natural in a way. human response of saying i had nothing to do with it it wasn't me because simply i wasn't the actual person who killed i never killed the jew personally therefore i'm not guilty but as. it's i think it was in timing earlier that let's see if not the personal guilt for the actual murder. that was a thing that came about in german society was only really realised as i mentioned earlier in the late sixty's that was accepted and since then germany as a whole as

a society as a whole has accepted that is has a specific responsibility even if it doesn't have individual guilt now several generations later it has a particular responsibility to fight anti semitism which was the root of this. this. atrocity. what one has to see the at the same time in other countries the talking cross there was anti semitism right across europe this is not of course to exonerate or really survives in any way what the germans did but it is shocking it is a fact that in a it in a biography of witold to let's a member of the of the polish underground who very brave man who had himself captured and imprisoned in auschwitz so that he could report on it he got out reports of the 1st gas chamber as early as $941.00 the end of $141.00 at the church sure and roosevelt thought that it was not important enough to risk allied troops

although the polish government one has to say in fairness the polish government in exile in 1st of all in france they were in exile and then in london they implored the british to bomb the railways and they had various all the climate story and they had various. i dare use the word excuses of why they didn't do so. which may or may not be true but it's also now on record that jack. said whether quotes in his biography of. philip philip ski which is just amount he quotes a foreign office diplomat. in london saying the poles of being very irritating over this so i mean there was awareness at the highest it was certainly and there was indifference basically they didn't perhaps know the full extent of what was going on but they knew that jews were being picked up and jews were disappearing and when

you hear about that awareness i mean it's quite clear when you when we heard from from that soviet soldier those moments of realization you know as he says he was coming to that but he was not aware of the extent of what was happening there. i'm just curious what you think when you hear. these sorts of things we're talking about complicity responsibility awareness how all how it unfolded as i told you before that isn't my main question. is had the people who knew about that something is happening in that something not good is happening in the other can excuse to say we don't know all the details so we won't do anything i mean in the states they send ships and in the states and in palestine this sad ships back to germany. and they know they sent them back to death because what will not see this through with. the 100000 of people like. yeah.

there are so many efforts underway currently to combat you know the rise of anti-semitism that we have also been talking about you know to prevent something like this from ever happening again we have the opportunity to political editor for speaking with ronald lauder who is the current president of the world jewish congress speaking out over the weekend she asked him about the significance of this particular anniversary let's have a listen if you come here now to the house it's one count what do you think forwards on this momentous sorry day for what it must for the likes of you for years with world. retrieve i'm sure the bodies will be trying for a good story to mislead. but it's something that the world where they think about. poetry. they think about the little you've heard this is the largest cemetery in

the world 1000000000 people but very few. for the simple reason to believe the truth. from the world would refer to. to some people for a version we have this is about life. we have to look to others who are going to scramble to read to bear witness to prove it and to see our truth perhaps we'd better start for something better. i would have a few good receivers in the world should be prepared. now you've dedicated your life to this we saw a recommitment from world leaders in so to fight the semitism to never forget. what do you make of that message and what is. still to learn about them 1st of all speeches are not the 1st stop there they said with his. archer and one of the things we're seeing more and more of your speeches are lowered. to where we have to

have we have to throw loads we have to stop the freedom. we have to educate the children of what we're. going to very few good for 30 years if the people sure would have been nobody would be to actually bring guns with preacher liberations going. for young people don't let me see page of the interview from the real. power where you try to go into a sort of broccoli and get it take you to it is nice to put it for years where to get it straight from the get a free interview he said he was serious basically it was the input into a good few we have to start or we could start trouble for making a point to do over there and fortunately most of the features told through. most governments just talk they did not do it michel i'm very curious to hear your

reaction to what we just heard ronald lauder saying essentially saying that there's hate on the internet that it's you know a way of expressing the anti semitism of the of inspiring attackers or would be attackers he mentioned the incident in hala that happened germany last year where 2 individuals were killed outside of synagogue do you agree with what he had to say i mean how big do you see the role of the internet i agree think the internet is the wild west right now and you can do whatever you can write whatever you want on the internet and the governments at least in germany says it's the responsibility of big social media companies of. people who run the internet who run the internet. to look out if things are happening well or not well if they're final not fine but i mean in the for example taking the banks also not the banks are responsible to look after financial.

financial like if people do something bad. q 4 financial crimes that's the. responsibility of the state so i think it should be the same in the internet. it's difficult because as i was saying earlier with the nature of the global internet that it's a problem not a new one to services in but of course will sort of hate crimes and so on it's very difficult to rein in for sure it is difficult but i mean only because it's difficult it's not an excuse for don't do it and we have to start this question i mean the discussion right now is at the point that we say facebook should watch out for what is happening on facebook but i don't think it's the responsibility of facebook so he's calling for stronger laws calling for education calling for action not speeches john what's your assessment well the.

foreign minister. has already reacted quite strongly to trying to rein in the the internet with hate speech on the internet it's difficult he said that he wants to make it a priority when germany takes over the presidency of the e.u. in this coming summer. it is difficult i gree with you that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to tackle this it's but it is difficult john thank you so much we're actually going to go live now to the ceremony at auschwitz birkenau marking 75 years ago since this nazi death camp the concentration camp was liberated the top of this.

it was described in the summer over 1944 the polish in the main of the camp right there was a bit of scheming duty who don't people who are. driven to. death. we. know well the truth about who was happening here you know as it was recounted. by i would compare troops who had counted numbers to toot their bodies by german aster that. is being 75 years since the and monstrous horrendous and criminal nightmare. that was unfolding in this place. for nearly 5 years. yes it has been. 3 generations since that day the 27th of january 1905 when

a few 1000 prisoners. victims of cruelty exhausted by slave work with congo and disease go live to see finally deliberations by the soldiers. armies of the red army. we have here with us today the last living survivors. people who enter the hell of auschwitz. the last of those who saw the whole cost with their own eyes. and among those who experience the fate of the jewish nation. as referred to in the 44th since we are killed all day long we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

obligation we take thinking of those who perished of you. who have survived your aunts of the future generations as well. of. the genocide perpetrated here as a functional areas over now. see. your claim to a 1000000 300000 human lives among them there were holders the roma. soviet prisoners of war. but 1st and foremost to choose. whom over 1000000 100000 were slain here. we are speaking about numbers but these numbers represent concrete people their life stories and the suffering. we're speaking numbers. we will

certainly never got to know the exact figures. or yes we are speaking about numbers as we know in the factory of death. from numbers to make us realize that in the just real nature of the crime perpetrated here. the whole the cost of which. is the main locus of the main symbol constituted and an example crime throughout the entire history of humankind here the hatred chauvinism nationalism racism anti-semitism assumes the form of a mosque and organized. at no other time and at no other place was extermination carried out in a similar manner. was jews from poland hungary.

france. the netherlands greece. and from other countries all over europe who were brought here in cattle cars. under one selection and were deprived of all their belongings. and in their. vast majority they were immediately killed in the gas chambers by light and burnt in the ovens of the crematorium of their coats all of that took about a few hours quarters minutes because for years the factory of death operate it at full capacity smoke was rising from the chimneys the transpose were rolling people walked and walked around in their thousands. to meet their death. is good but it is hard to compass the tone of your mind today the magnitude of the crime perpetrated in this place is terrifying. but we must not

look away from it. and we must never forget it. because of your own when the front was approaching to put an end to the cry and the perpetrators attempted to obliterate its traces they would destroy the buildings and the documents of the genocide having slain our millions they also wanted to wipe out the memory of them. however their attempts failed us witnesses were saved me as you all are of all survivors of the last war. and this very place has been presenting the art of the tension both evidence and the symbol of the whole of cost. hence we stand here today we're going to rely on the premises of the former

hi michel. so this is with you know. a. lot. to take the fall.

so. few setbacks him. welcome that we see. her home. who could reach more you're going to get more your winter which it was difficult

for you and me very to hide my feelings i'm standing here at the front of you i'm not sure whether it is far below or what are you dreaming make that i ever hear with you 75 years on if i'm parties here now after. what happened to this great suffering that took place. just that my number was. close to 5554. more shots of lake view. is. intimate and protection no hear that news that other reality that used to unfold here this was it did not i mean actually protection. for another human being did not belong to that fact human dignity did not belong there either quite the

opposite. if even if you open a dictionary you would not find a phrase to do that would describe how. ordinary human dignity was trampled on earth will be so this is what. the late. founder of this protection should definitely what was it for me. so much despise him that he is this definition world we were human dignity who was treated as if it were that. there was no way for finding shelter anywhere i am after. he brings you cheap if you feel you should be proud of him that we should not pay

for those people that's why our young alum in russia a longer one would be surprised but i did not have a stripe uniform because there were too few things that i was given here russian soldier uniform i had to worry about they were all more what to do reckon they shot them and my legs were a wrapped in a praying showing you. that shoulder to see used point use. and i have those dog shit wooden. shoes i want you there we're under even in years. what else they do to me are fired because they took to the number of my arm thing and it is just as visible today as it was back then. it was very well to to well to

today. if it is him or not. so you know what you are smiling maybe thought for. them if they could recognize myself those blocks they had windows very hard i raised my hands. and that is when i recognize myself to be myself. the worst things that i went through were at the very beginning of your. well it is hard to say actually what was more painful to me than for you no matter whether it was the process of took truing a number of my own was something else that night don't leave now i believe that was . what was the most. we are too cute hurtful for me was the loss of her because it to her gave me

a sense of belonging to womanhood and they west move back this was why i have the power of attorney. after all of this criminal hand touched my head described of why he was taken away from me. and i was tough and into this pitiful side creature you can have my hands touch. and they could skull. sample that i could see the culture of my face. i could recognize myself is a treaty for me where is my crown. of course now i'm sure is for you and in the mirror they were. recognised myself or rather it was not a mirror it was a close window and it was really we. were fit with him

to. have great weight used for different purposes who could think back than that they would be used as a resource resource for my tryst. more you. are going on 50 p. or are you mom however. here what they were radio after was. depriving me of my own human face and would grow back as nature commanded so much and there was just dream more shit she with in my heart it was to the long life that maybe tomorrow will come one day and to morrow did come indeed. memories remain. here. and let me tell you something else. i worked in for commandos and the lack of

the 1st one poxy. i waved him oh you lacked. that was someone poisonous and my habits would be 12 hours per day as we sit here. we remember that i would be woken up at 4 am because i was connecting back. was collecting metal. and actually this metal was used to make soup. going to be on this woman. say. everybody knows. who she was. what this word means she was really cool she had a dog good where she had a stick and she would beat his throne and what. she wanted

was this basket of grass to be not only for but also packed and i spent many years in this over other many months of this command command here and then there was the 2nd one cutoff a commander who. was that with the grief leith and. mackie. there was the sluggish trust of the street there i met my cousin. and she was a doctor's wife from one outing. and she worked at what we call a record cheapening smoking will the one hand you must be false on the other but hospitals well that's just a name people like people found on the deceases you could think of and i still remember the german names for. those deceases and there was this issue all the time i was the 1st best candidate to be sent to

the chimney piece and he would not allow dr mengele when he inspected does we would have to study it here and those make it and we would get driven to death but i said i wouldn't go and i kid. or could it will come. under a bed under the cover wish you could turn sick and somehow i saved myself this way. and there was another commander later on i'm sure. you might go on for 30. serbia whew hew so even now i'm sure all i had to kill law is. that there are 2 types. of those creatures a film should cool cool i don't get the 1st type of flies live on your head

it's all yours and the 2nd type lives in your trades and so are you would kill laws with my theft with my fingers this would be the 1st job that i have to do in the morning. but i am offering him where you are nationally know being. fired being the threat terrible to see these deceases actually come down and calm down failures was the next commando they go did. you see and it was that inmates themselves who came up with this name in your past so how come not so i worked in canada i mean. i'm sure the people here from hungary for one thing yes you are and i would hold garrett clothes in my hands. there were a good amount on for our 1st year i would cry but then i had to get

used to that because that was to become my job here you would have a motion home but and there were those huge piles of clothes from different corners of the world from the going out or you know. by i saw a photograph of my teachers from lutes you have got here in the 1944 all the ghetto it once was liquidated. me and only seen it because it's been found in so. get so you know if. this was my lead to. so how do you live in such a place when you. come here from the gulf to be with them can you think your wish schools had been closed down so i decided that i had to learn something

that they were all those languages that surrounded me 15 maybe more people who work here would know better yes sure it was it will be more you know so i was here over this language that surrounds me and i thought i need to bird something well i will learn the language so that i found this belgian lady you can call and she left became one of my teacher i had no pencil i had no paper. yeah she had nothing to help me. on i went with it and my learning from them so when i left oh she's become our i spoke fluent french there was another thing that i know. you hear. poems and maladies that were created by inmates. because it comes because to not vote i still know it by heart like i

did all those years ago. warning. so. the amount of our fists now national forest of us put much more out into the field had it was known to me in the campus much i got to the gate and became our prey have. cornish and the description of us suffering was an expression of each one of us however not every prisoner was able to describe the painful reality in such a matter that the main source of strength was the crazy gust of revenge for so much agony and so when he complains by let's get to the brain and take us to the mic. the words of revolt one dead from mouth to mouth and i want to train slightly depending on the memory a little personal as soon as shoes and a female prisoners were hit with the thought of revenge became

a source of strength you're. allowing to do you know the long days and nights of inhumane suffering. i continue learning oh all the time now what helped me to survive was that i might still decide to do something for myself i decided to shoes what i want rather than following orders. him. i would he did not get to be liberated of the 27th. because we could hear the russian army approaching their cannons firing. would it be will be a morning you. will be will. begin acting out now not. so basically. i did not get to

experience this to the ration are you was driven out and made to watch. it or could i have some water please. accept it. just a little bit not much. takoma shallum 3 term does not seem to sell. so damn that's what i suspect that seems sheehan's equal of a sense of humor so with this affair between but.

and the fault is that you didn't get to the pace of who trained or vengeful all that suffering because we had to wait for the king to death. and. various countries in the world did nothing here and i still have this feeling today where was everybody where was the world who could see that who could hear that and yet did nothing to say or. its. our throbbing here down today she asked if so what. are you there for the world. or you must mean it was my dream

you were out to love her you're sure here here will be here it will. be put out from your remarks no apologies. we've spoken. over so you're saying that from the bottom of my heart rather than reading out from a piece of paper. you know. gordie got people both something so wrong with that but out i was meant to liquidate offered to get him out what was my last job in your cabinet. gun if he was you

mind your candidate was in a room that's a huge song to command the inmates came up with a map and spoke i think cannot and cannot those of which country sometimes fish gets exceptionally sheesh and you can let out a few old list items put with them both but by all those inmates are all these countries and this is where they were collected so it's just. an eyesore it'll not yelling at them. come now for you to up cite to working in canada was that you could eat the. we would eat whatever was brought by people. because people coming here had been told that they. were being taken to work they had been asked to take some food with them so all of

this food was being brought to canada who felt we were sickly and thin and. emotionally it would be that there can you eat such things well but that and if it was possible. for us to measure up worship. here for me there was one more thing. i know that she helped us to live in this hell with friendship and i think she could open with you you could find in the group of people who would help one another shaw and you thought on the whole a course. you have so much fun to hear about the terrible things what about the rights and smiled the nations that emotional help too there are many other things subjects that can be taught to children young 10 or so a fair bit but all right you still can i have the struggle namely i would like the

subject to be introduced at an early a strange car or why such. should not here that are here not in various countries but children are 1315 years old it's already too late. for you because at this point there i mean to go that sort of physiological changes and what they think about is for you themselves and their position in a social group to moshe me to you know they're good for my so what question if your is it necessary to teach that subject is it possible. that i am i have an answer to those questions so yes it is very much necessary and it is but there are these possible why is it truly necessary for you. here we are we live in the

world of any idea on the action of you and we have the insight foden whatever its name is you should have people play with those objects think you even close your eyes so the children grow up close. i wish there is my faves and they know more than we would like them to marry him. for that reason if this subject this topic needs to be taught as early as possible. work on well in israel it differently good luck to him we have those sounds. children. wore a company with they hear those sounds know how with another country strip they don't have that they still not have no no one should surely and i'm sure

the teachers here you can hear him address of the teachers at this point 1st you need to learn your children. and what is the soles of their knowledge you need to learn what they would like to know about i've been to various places i've been to argentina here to canada for marriage and to shout out for being to america after many times and i spent 3 years in legal and. share options to appear shirtless on the 3rd of the ones i wanted to learn so the 1st thing that i did was i learned odd picked up here and think you know me i'm very fast i went to this teacher called a fish called i'm also on what. is a kindergarten teacher children act that he would approach me home will be

nothing about the law i know. up there i have this thing written well for 40 years of behind looking for an answer mind you if you see me have 4 books in polish they have been translated from hebrew to work well for the most part of course. they are meant to be used in school. what else should i say. maybe that i would like to draw it. because overly with tears i can tell you about this pos i can see so many people here you are a source of comfort to us. i hope you will all troy

to preserve the memory of this place and other sites where people innocent people died people from various nations. i hope. that you will make sure you all remember this responsibility so that this terrible fate will never happen again. of the garbage you hear thank you so very much. one

shall know me by. a decent job when you have a way i'll ask a 'd former. inmate elsa baker to take the floor.

thank you. it isn't it is a great privilege to stand up stand here today at this great event this is story event. then. so many people are. having having just listened to that lady's speech that really upset me. despite the fact that i've us also. in auschwitz as an 8 year old girl. i would like to say that it isn't it for me to to be here among so many people who have suffered so page perhaps even

match more so than i. and. i i think. it. i'm upset you probably can feel that i'm very upset about listening tonight lady that. yes. it is. you know i would like to i would like to thank the polish people for having posed oeuvre former campaign here and mate made it into service such a world renowned. movie 0 hole of course memorial which is it is today and where people can

come especially people who who are in that category or i was in auschwitz for which is cinci and all ma which as i know i lived in england nearly 60 years and i know not many people know that cynthia and her man have kate least half that in not under the nazis similar to to the suffering of jewish people and that and now so on. ash ash i will continue talking now because what i'm saying i'm climbed i can't look at that no so what i'm saying comes from the heart and she will continue now this my speech she will read it

that i have written it i have written it yes. mrs baker has asked me to deliver the rest of her speech because she is civilians sight impaired and she cannot read it herself. in 1044 when i was just an 80 year old girl i was taken from my home in a hamburger and the quarter to the auschwitz birkenau extermination camp. since my biological mother was a sinti and the nazis considered me a gypsy and imprison me together with thousands of others into and trauma. in the

so-called gypsy camp. almost 90 percent of a total of $23000.00 inmates of the gypsy camp where murders. horrible as it was the extermination camp auschwitz was just one side of the genocide committed against india and trauma. all over nazi occupied europe cindy and role model were murdered in camps or shot by executions courts. today we know that are around 500000 seen. became victims of a campaign of systematic extermination. and auschwitz i witnessed mass murder. and they were long queues of people in the front of the mass murder their facilities like the gas chamber and a lot of the gas chambers and crematoria which were not from far from our camps

electrified fences and then the ears bleeding scream started or this to say inside our better x. with doris locked away dissipate. and we saw a large array of open fire blazing. i as an 80 year old girl over have overheard adult conversation like. name us half round out of gas and they are burning people alive. you might be interested to know that only 6 months ago i was here at auschwitz memorial commemorating an event that took place there on the 2nd of august $1044.00 almost $4300.00 men women and children from our camp after one of those nasty selection processes were condemned to be murdered as the

very night. i was among those the nazi selected to be put into cattle trains and to be deported to ravensbruck concentration camps. even today it's extremely difficult for me to come back to the place of the former concentration camp auschwitz. i experienced 1st hand the effect of. anti semitism and racism i myself survived auschwitz to shylock and the selfless act of some of my fellow inmates for the case after $945.00 the genocide committed against cindy and roma was largely ignored each took a private initiative by vince and rose one of the elderly activists of the cindy and roma civil rights movement to erect

a modest memorial on the side of the former camp to come arrayed the cindy and trauma murdered at auschwitz. today. it is the setting for memorial services. like the one at the end that last august and those that were murdered that and those that survived the camps must never be forgotten hopefully this memorial site and museum will remain here for many years to come as a warning to people not to let racism and insane idea all ages back by wrong sciences like for good for example eugenic gain power again. may just say one thing that is very near to me in times like this when the minorities have to still vulnerable again i can only hope that everyone would

stand up for democracy and human rights i think. shallow repulsed distinguished ladies and gentlemen mary now requests the testimony from the home of inmate of auschwitz mr marion to ski.

murray deserves to both with you did you hear comrades of the whole groups in the camp distinguished guests because of other distinguished creator visitors to this place friends yes they viewed that i am much one shields of those who are still alive you teach that to you be. to me still who were here in this place him out those that 3 feet deep almost until the last moment is really. before the liberationist august 5th on the 18th of january more young thugs of other about my so-called evacuation of started. evacuation from.

this camp from british let's yes and after 6 and a half days it and it. because actual math and she knew turned out to be the death march for more than every single being a few. mates i live in a major issue so we walked together as a column of 600 people for the truth get a good bit of the for the beast according to yell probability a trick of you should i will not actually live to see another but you believe here let it go this is. i would go. so please forgive me. if there is there will be emotions in what i'm going to say. of each now if this is what i would like to sangli sue to tell primarily.

to my granddaughter who is here in this room and i would like to thank for that if you go to my grandson as well go to through still but i'm sure mostly after the loose who are you the peers of these more my daughter and my grandchildren in the name of the younger generation music especially youngest those who are even younger than they are. boy dish. yet when a. world war broke out i was but a teenager. was a soldier is a still church and he was shot to shit. and that kept him repeating. that it was a trauma for our family and it went on and on. my.

way and belorussia borderland armies went forth and back. saying rape said you. returned philip you see not to leave anything conclusive who are coming after them yet he could say events i have done and still experience of war i think people just go which are nonetheless even if. it was only 2025 years apart those times seemed so. very polish and 100 century uprisings like the french revolution. action and that was only 20 years away. so. one today i meet young people have a slave i perfectly well realize. 75 if not 80 in the.

whole week so someone pulled him up the. final war show on holocaust somewhat of a boring subject just like an aside. and i actually understand. this is why i promise you you. the young should be set i'm not telling you about my suffering i'm not telling you about what i experienced my to death marches into in vogue how i finished the dishes back you know weighing all with 30 to feel oh. really on the verge of glowing idea. to subtly exhaust i'm not telling you things that were worst in the worst of the tragedy over the farwell's of parting each with the near and

dear fitz who went after the selection you see and you sense their fate no i'm not telling you about that. what i would like to pass to my own daughter to my grandchildren and to various generations i would like to tell you something about you yourselves. then i see we have among us the president a whole string on the. mr alexander come to balance. you remember mr president when you. posted to me and the manager mouths of the international committee that we discussed those days. that you used such a frame. is the foam falling off for

a mill fallen you did not fall down from the skies yet if you love me you could say that's an obvious thing it's absolutely ulp various i did notice that the dead like this may even seen. a hackneyed phrase quite commonplace perhaps. this is a profound visual. aid to the shortcuts you know with thinking. and it helps to understand certain things let's use the word imagination and i would follow that for years to get to the early 1930 s. too politically and. we find ourselves. in the senate bill in that he think the governor of. the.

district is the name of the district but it's just 3 stops away from the tear garden is the suv. there is stationary of a mattress there is a shift park. and one day in the early 1930 s. . not because you can read it don't you and inscription on the benches jews must not sit on the street benches you can say it's on pleasant it's not fat it's not right but after all there are so many benches around you can sit somewhere else cos you can. that if there are strict and that was

a district that was inhabited by intellectuals by the intelligentsia if german of jewish all return albert einstein used to lived nearly sax the nobel prize winner. of the great politician and industrialist vowed to hot to mao who was minister of foreign affairs. is that. about there was a swimming pool that handhelds. over install an inscription grant jews are forbidden to enter you could say why don't you believe me pleasant this is not but there are so many places in berlin where you can take a bar or swim so many lakes canals it's nearly like a vanished. at the same time that. you can read to vote somewhere else you jews must not belong to jam and singing

association s. so what it's all right so they want to saying they want to make music about let's just meet somewhere else they will do their singing and if you are right that piece what comes up later glasgow is an old is really more of an old y'all feel human inscription arion children must play with our young children with a german children or i talk to tell playing on the row and then he read should feel. should i let you produce you should know he'll do it and we will go to the sale bread and food to choose after 5 pm or write a list choice this makes your life hard osha books after all he said after 5 pm you can still do your shopping. now i warn you i warn you

i'm getting use to every thoughts more sack of office that someone maybe a nice clue to it. becomes mediates it's being to our lives the members of the thought that somebody can be stigmatized. and you know that someone may be alienated. took. over. and that's that's how it is done step by step that slowly. that's now if you'll let us begin to your fiancee see the op this is something normal both victims sylvia and it's called the perpetrators of the witnesses voce whom we in english call bystanders. those who see it become

familiar essentially and don't wish they become acquainted with that of the thoughts familiar with the idea is dying now that the minority that produced einstein the most had their hind end it sold even the mandelson's or not and demanded novelists on number that if it is new different trees that it can be pushed beyond the margin of the side little they are different people that they are alien people that they are not the people dance that it be dairy germs that cause pandemics. and the fist now is horrible is dangerous so this is. what may happen soon takes its origin people. and let me

tell years though if you consider that. and if we remember the words of mr presidents. now. power. up there is the least a little bit of magic how one should at that. time ran slide on by the holy city for example rematch all of you who are claims of world she is the 1st of may was never celebrated or right sort of a gave you a day that was free from what they introduced the craft so special holy day for workers goes very crude this diverts you also find that unemployment's they knew how to play on the dignity of a nation's it's to do with germans to move on from the shame or your street

treaty of versailles that you have your pride factor to put forward and that the government also saw when you see that people were slowly and gulf to get on i this lack of sensitivity they seems to react well to believe and that that was the moment when that government could speed up the source of evil god came later it was something that developed through the immediately jews could not get up a quick notes emigration and then quickly the good news would be sent to get their usual took hours to get my get their little lunch counters and watch. because most people from glasgow were later central to call them all of them home unknowns i'm sure there are of the few where they were murdered in a low race with exhaust gases and the rest will make their way to auschwitz were

liberation survivors there today as our world leaders to honor those who were killed at the hands of the nazis and with anti semitism on the rise there is a sense of urgency to remind the world about what happened there. anybody. ages ago but. they prove that. in the latest and this was a let's get to the fuel. so know when you get a star you need which if you need 30 year it's interesting which to participate in this. commemoration in the 75th anniversary of the

liberation of kentucky but it's my 1st my words of respects to her and those. who are made. by the fate of the industrial peroration so the german nazi. machine of genocide in auschwitz and other concentration and extermination of hammersmith. trusted but true way of putting it. merely you know she's. shown that you know it here i'm referring to the in the human report amounts of human how last christie 6 sure is close but yet nicole you know preventing. the evil state lead by children of will in the matter of different nationalities and religions if you think. about it oh yeah so. the ashes of

others if people who were scattered by the winds of history by their immortal souls remained in this. says real physical to human addicts and they came here in great numbers and they are circulated here among us if we open our hearts you will hear their cries their mail and complain to grow. you know in a place such as this what's failed is fair and the heart cries stopped good in distress we saw you lord why did you remain silent. in this silence we buy our heads before the countless people who suffer. and we're here. if mac yet the saw in the last is allowed to crawl

right for that forgiveness and reconciliation thing of a prayer to the living the court and to prevent it from ever happening again i feel like it would be how many questions come to mind here. and one in particular keeps coming. you know well what was gorgeous state why was he sighed and. how could he allow so much destruction this triumph of evil or the one thing if these were the words of pope benedict just 6 in the 2nd hour about really just visit to auschwitz birkenau in 26 you know the pope from germany and what you meant to him to say we cannot fathom the mystery of god people here for that matter the we see a new leaf recommends and we hear other post where we want to become judges

of god history and if these words of the books came at a point of reference for perception one must. consist of people experienced a time when people deliberately forgot about another person's right to live by that you're more you have more people you're going to argue from here on the words on you that will be referring to. part of this. back to me part. of what he meant on this path i saw the best but what is and will song and going at the top iraqi prisoner was so it's become our concentration extermination camp out in the mauthausen gusen one and constant to the concentration camps. i was brought to this place. in.

my to 43. tagged with an umbrella that was tucked suit on the inside of my left forearm and it was like out there and i received other numbers when asked how say that because one proceed to the number from. that i've headed for $77.00 yes and it's still legit to believe that it is legible and it is a living with this too unforgettable the tragic events i remember them all very years it's taken out i remember that there are naked women written in trucks from the barracks to a gas chamber i can hear them screaming i can hear it in my subconscious when i remember those events oh you i recall blue 2 nights sleep dressed. wearing the star of david on man

because when can get around it no signs of fear. a large group of tourists people led by just one has as office and he let them out of the record of the crematorium however only meat and if you. follow in races next and you about it irish priest one christian that includes one cousin to i witnessed. death penalty 7 the force of one's religion or a. small prison sick prisoners kill beat in the camp hospital by a faction or of prison i saw the suicide of prisoners who threw themselves on this electrified by a wire fence him on the 1st day from the home of freedom i would to the drastic. extrajudicial executions back home.

by prisoners who functionary prisoners. of power and every one of it was done because of the sadistic nature of it over generated when a fist self kept conditions and these are just a few select examples for him to live a normal creative life i try not to think about the events that took place in the camp and i found my own way of doing that for them personally and so i took my memories and i put them in this tight box i tied a rope to it and i threw it into the river and occasionally i take it out and others i took it for you to damus events but once on i've used the use by put them back into this box and put them back into the water however once the echoes of the ceremony ceremony cease

because some memories over come my defenses they penetrate my memory trigger reflection and some questions that remain unanswered when i say. prayer aside. give us a work day to brett. and forgive us our trespasses. as we forgive those who trespass against. us so the question is what is forgiveness of sin. is it forgetting the damage that was effected music or maybe it's about refraining from another. imposing punishment maybe it is about a bend to the right for compensation can we forgive those who have this description caught. on the course of the detroit belts and killed people with primitive. let me emphasize that it was premeditated because war is an oxe of killing with

the kills more women. with their own who preach violence both sides. have. a stronger will avoid imposing doing it and it can be quite cool but. all blurs the line is between committed on for. or you to avoid that. there must be reconsidered we age and between nations have seen yet reconstitution without historical truth and forgiveness will only be. but a bridge with. a rating between the edges of precipice you can cross it but not without fear of camps if you do or by the fortress of moral obligation and you both present here. to snow. i can't even think here and such

a way that nothing like that ever happens again because i don't. under these inhumane conditions that can fail to auschwitz and other concentration camps or to prevent prison lives inmates formed variants on the gravel and i say honesty is the primary goal was that of protecting human human life and human dignity speaking in human terms i was a beneficiary of such an activity that made it possible for me to survive temperate breakdowns to overcome this feeling of hopelessness that oceans and other catholic . structure that's an additional. strength and that was born. and stimulated to act to overcome one sense of powerlessness to overcome this loss of hope that i'll give

you to some person. a franciscan father maximillian kolbe father terry nick gave up his life. for another that is the father of a large ship that huge family. covered captive people captured that ski voluntarily allowed himself to be a prison to kill. organized that was rather a phrase that he fled to promotion it's. tell but he knows the truth about what it was happening and bush's bacon out of a key perspective of the president also and here was the kilt by the leader of the communist affords a potent or so to people to have different people or incredibly courageous act on the. they show terrorism and education we in their place created.

to exterminate people and their sacrifice was not in faith and i thought that. the let's consider their solidarity a lot of them was established. 2070. years and may not see one of those of this institute just to commemorate liberate people of different nationalities victims of german nazi crimes and pick. up with force around in yemen and over the next 1000000 called the vet association established in germany has been operating since 1973 and one of it's this man's to reach agreement and conservation and provide assistance various forms to former inmates concentration camps and cutters godless of their own religion for views. on their beliefs or. a concert. on the 50th anniversary.

of the end of. the association awarded the former in the on the mesa concentration camps a commemorative medal. document attached to the medal for us. quote. you have survived the trustees and terror prevailing in the camps but afterwards your lives have been very difficult and yet in this time you know they have given great reasons for we can solution of it. so on the mad all you can find. it symbolizes your message that of reconciliation we believe the search on him if of whom he your. ex a playwright if you marry the hague i want this effect others. and will become the to be. something to follow the specially to those

they shots that may act in a moment trance treatment or have mastered goodness if you suffered what camps and . that's prison in this book your life has been difficult after the liberation but all of that was not in vain and that of this we have truly deeply convinced that's how it should be but it is not. one of these days in many regions of the world people overcome by fanatics. of various kinds. political regimes and religious and. they commit acts of violence to achieve their own personal good as your own acts of violence claims thousands of lives and that. the hallmarks of genocide has history turn to food cycle. i mean

a circle propelled. and driven by people who do not respect other people's dignity. dear. to support it's a school migration and i am an optimist and i believe in people all the big stuff from him he was you so far in my life with them and excluding my state prisons and concentration. on i have. found if people are sieved more all good good things than bad things from others. in qualifying human deeds or bad i'm supported by beautiful woman who has a blind full time horizon her left hand she carries a balance and in her right hand the shop sought i will ask. to stay with me at the 26. 0 general yesterday the

president of the republic of poland together with pat presented to former inmates of concentration that extermination camp which took him out. medals. commemorating the 75th on the 1st story of the liberation medal it was founded by the oceans become state you see it. now. there is the same message attached to it and that is the fact that it is the highest bush authorities present this battle in and that means that basically it is an unwritten document the documents this tragic. history of the polish nation and other nations during world war. i did hear. that this patent will. be.

used to act for the benefit of all to remain with the sophistry.

live. 1 1 earth. there's a loser. no

request a representative of the pillars of memory in green to profit. in the function of fantasy of his book and i know mr i don't want loud. thank.

you majesty's direction c. rabbis could. i guess and most importantly the survivors of auschwitz birkenau who are with us today thank you this is about you the survivors but i cannot begin to tell you how grateful i am that you are here. and in some cases here with your

children and grandchildren 5 years ago when i stood here in front of these painful gates. and i admitted that i'm not a survivor. but i am so grateful for the survivors who are here today i'm not a liberate are although i salute the courage of the veterans who saved the show i am here simply as a jew. and like jews everywhere. 100 like you everywhere this place this terrible waste called auschwitz has sadly become an inseparable part of all of us. auschwitz is like a terrible scott from

a terrible trauma it never goes away and the pain never stops i've always wondered. if i didn't go on in hungary where my grandparents were from and set up new york in february in 1944. but i have lived the answer is no i've been one of the 438000 hunk arion jews gassed by the nazis in 1944 right here in auschwitz i can assure you almost all jews have pondered this question 75 years ago today when soviet troops entered these gates they had no idea what lay behind them and since that day the entire world has struggled with what they found inside. we've all wondered. how an invention country

that gave the world great literature and hard science cheap mint could sing to an anger i mean this is depravity like auschwitz but let me be clear. while germany and austria cause created and carry out this shattering evil practically every other european country helped the nazis gather up their jewish citizens. 100 too many people and too many countries made auschwitz happen. when european jews. begged the world for a safe harbor. somewhere to go the entire world

turned its back on them even my own country the beacon of freedom turned out its light on the jewish people when they needed most the united states organize a conference and everyone friends in july 1938 to this cause the jewish refugee problem there were a lot of lovely speeches but america. did not let any additional jewish refugees in and every other country in attendance followed its lead there were $32.00 countries and none of them except for the tiny dominican republic wanted any more jews headless saw this 4 months later came crystal not and again. there was no world reaction

hitler tested the world and at every step he saw the truth. the world did not care that's when he knew he could build this factory of debt evian lead to auschwitz kristallnacht left that auschwitz world anti-semitism lead tallish words thankfully thankfully there was some people throughout europe who had a mole decency and acted differently ordinary people who is their lives and their family's lives to save other human beings sometimes people they didn't even know and yard was sham in jerusalem you will see 27362 names on what we call the

righteous among nations these gentiles who risked everything to save jewish lives we have not forgotten these are and will men and women. who were we will never never never forget god bless them to enter dr years ago as a 70th anniversary i was very concerned about the shocking rise of anti-semitism here in europe today. we all know the attacks on jews the killings the vicious landis have only grown worse and they have spread to my own country 75 years ago when the world finally saw the pictures of the gas chambers here and the piles of bodies nobody in their right mind wanted to be

associated with the nazis but now. i see something i never thought i would see in my lifetime the open and brazen spread of anti jewish a trick throughout the world once again in 2020 we hear the same lies the nazis used so effectively in their propaganda they said jews have too much power jews control the economy and the media jews control governments jews control everything we have this madness online in the media and even within democratic governments we will never advocate anti-semitism it's a deadly virus that's been with us for over 2000 years but we cannot look the other

way and pretend that it isn't happening that's what people did throughout the 930 s. and that is what led to auschwitz there were 50 countries 50 countries prison represented here today i know each and every one of you is a scots that by anti-semitism as i am you also know that you alone cannot stop this but all of you can certainly speak out forcefully against it. we can't rewrite history but we can be much more forceful today all of us misremember those brave more people who tried to stop this as world all world leaders all politicians must lead in this effort words i'm not enough political speeches i'm not enough laws must be passed severe tough real laws that will put these

hate mongers away in prison for a long time and effort must be educated to know where the hatred should jews leave those are all important. but there is no other vital way for world leaders today to fight this age old hatred. i best all countries to stop casting votes. in favor of the un constant and shameful fixation on israel. thanks. exactly 3 years 3 months and 3 weeks after liberation of auschwitz

the jewish people realized their 2000 year old dream and founded the jewish state of israel if for no other reason than the fact that not as country on earth which take in jewish refugees when they begged for their lives that is why the jewish people need israel 75 years ago the jewish people left auschwitz they fled europe they were forced out of every country in the middle east and instead of living in refugee camps and turning to terror they built a vibrant democracy in a place where democracy does not exist they have created a miracle if the miracle of having to defend their existence every single

day no other country on earth has had to do this and for this the un some journalist even some government leaders constantly condemn it but it's even worse israel has been singled out over and over again with the same lies that we hear about the jewish people for centuries. over the last 7 years alone the united nations general is some semblence has adopted 21 in 2 resolutions condemning countries around the world of those 202 resolutions israel was condemned 163 times and the rest of the world only 39 i mean 63 against israel 39 for the rest of the world we will move no these boats are absurd the un

ignores true evil dictator ships that kill millions of their own people as clear as day that this kind of assess of anti-science and is nothing but anti-semitism. the air we. hear about. us surrounded by numbers 75 years 9339386000000 but there's one number that still shocks us while great hearts the same time. 1000000 500000 that's the number of jewish children one and a half 1000000 who died no trust it's so painful we try not to think about it

just hurts too much had these one and a half 1000000 children but it allowed to live like others children around the world they would now be in their seventies and eighties they would have been educated they would have married they have had children of their own such a laws. but something else as well. what could these one they have 1000000 children have created for soul but symphonies what great literature what technology what medical breakthroughs do we lose from these lost souls there is one more part. of the auschwitz story that no one ever talks about when the survivors were liberated from this nazi nightmare. they never sought revenge they lost their mothers and fathers sisters and brothers and to make cases they lost their wives and their children

and in spite of this now one german was killed in retribution by a jew not one thing about that for a moment everything that happened to them these jewish survivors walked out these gates and went on to build new lives which new families work hard and create some of have some grandchildren here today and it is shameful that 75 you see years later. they now see. that their grandchildren face the same a trade the same hatred again this is a shame and must never be tolerated. the ever. i'm afraid for all these

numbers one half 1000000000 children 6000000 jews these numbers are just too hard to comprehend so let me leave you with one last story. it comes from the eichmann trial in 1981 where witness after witness described their experience here at auschwitz. but there was one man who stood out. because he spoke there unusually non-emotional tone. he described arriving on this platform here by here with his wife and little daughter. they were herded out of the cattle cause and they stood in line for the selection right over there. a

doctor with a side who would go to the right to work and who would go to the left for extermination this man was separated from his wife and daughter at that moment and they were pushed away. on the witness stand he said. there was so many people. i didn't know how i could keep my eye on them. but as a little girl. wore red coat. and he was able to watch a little bit code until it got smaller and smaller. and then he couldn't see it anymore. the young israeli prosecutor gabriel bá. was standing.

at his chair when the man finished like this. he stood there silently. finally the judge asked pop to continue but he stood there. again the judge told bach to get to new. and again he just stood there silently. years later. bach explained that as fate would have it. he and his wife had just what their 3 year old daughter. a little bit because. and gabriel back said to this day if he goes to a sports stadium or a restaurant or just wearing down the street in jerusalem and he sees a girl. or a little red coat disposable tense. and he cannot speak

frankly. after this story. whenever i see. a red coat a little girl i think the same thing. this is the legacy of auschwitz it will never go away. where every jew is person and non jewish person saurians who lives his these cases today we must do this. we hear something that is anti-semitic when i hear someone talk about israel and justly when jews are attacked in our streets. to not be silent to not be indifferent and duchess to do is for the jewish people around the world. do this for your children. do this for your grandchildren for all also to

this. little girl. who in the red coat whose ashes leg 300 meters away along with one other 1000000 tortured souls they are watching us today and i cry out one shattering chorus do not be silent he would not be complacent do not let this ever happen again to any people. thank you thanks

so much guys for thank yous and gentleman is up to some of those beijing if you move to where he would like me also show you when he did not see a 50 year old job just like us they would just like us we're going to show them to show them. this video has been used for the 75th and the story of the liberation of the. nazi concentration and extermination camp. bush speaking out.

humanities ones were to be overweight strifes processors experience of international cooperation and the interdependence were intended to deter compression yes yes for a human this review was supposed to bring people of faith together i'm just an kish it's a collaborative effort on every dish but i'm honest every corner of the world we can see through my growing of old respects is. at a semitism racism and xenophobia are on the eve of christmas special. we did michael darkness the research and sort of populism and demagogy strength an ideology some attempted hatred and mission and we are becoming an increasingly indifferent confined within ourselves a pathetic passive humane your sim if huge we do not see you and moviemaking at some of the age and we cannot see we do nothing stroke for

writing protest songs you don't know that they sign on life petitions they go to open up they perform and boundless good in dramatic conditions a real school could never rescue in concrete individuals. i did you could not that was a pretty special good machine but that is the movies and fell that will want to know why they save their face and their dignity and how do we we thought i would culture memory compare ourselves to them so it's a nice pick up on me worse than for gay. taking it was something else isn't it when your book or a memory that does not in your interests of when you interview and bring any borel conservative in a stump auschwitz stand i mean she never again is lost 75 years after all should she it is it for a fact in memory that we must search for extra trial sources for our responsibility to satisfy within a why ocean you know him as recent friends often those short lived emotions without

instructions is consequence without education situ matter if this is different fields or true how can one say never again well look when you think of the r.'s of the jews attacked on the tax on the street. soo much the strobing heliot to people all over the world persecuted minority use refugees of the starving the murdered the hundreds of thousands of people in custody to terrorist camps and one of the money didn't come out some incredible scheme a group was ludden here in taken out what was right when he wrote shortly before so this isn't a commando revolt we have a dog provision because we know. him and will survive. and feel she'd let what has become of her world stolen from them where and why did we squander our basic fundamental value his where is our respect
