this for all time by. the sound of fresh starts february 7th. home. to get out of the. business c.w. news live from berlin turned to how the survivors return to auschwitz to mark 75 years since the extermination camp was liberated survivors spoke of the past with a message for the future. the larry. the most green most intimate of bruce. primo life very. good ones

use that phrase. this. which means that if the man you have preserved. which means that it may have been and you were and they were in this world. the survivors were joined by world leaders and dignitaries to honor those murdered at the nazi extermination camp with anti-semitism on the rise there is a sense of urgency to remind the world about what happens there. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program they are old and they are few but they came from far and wide back to the place where they were supposed to die survivors of

the auschwitz is terminations have joined world leaders and dignitaries to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the camp in poland. reliving the horrors of auschwitz. the agony etched over his face. and yet despite the pain these holocaust survivors have returned to this forum a death camp to remind the world where anti semitism and racism can lead. in front of the gates of auschwitz known as the gates of death a commemoration ceremony in which delegates from $61.00 countries are taking part

and $200.00 auschwitz survivors each with that terrible memories of what happened here i remember she was there to make it women trucks from the barracks. stream i can hear. screaming i can hear it in my subconscious when i remember the infamous you. elza baker who's blind was 8 when she arrived at auschwitz she was one of the $23000.00 sinti and roma people to portage here it isn't it oh not for me to to been here a month so many people who have suffered so blatantly perhaps even much more so than i. and. i i think. it's useful but. i don't know.

if i'm upset. but in spite of the past anti semitism is on the rise again in 2020 we hear the say is the nazi you saw effectively in the propaganda they said jews have too much power to control the economy and the media jews control government jews control everything we hear this madness. in the media and even within democratic governments. these brave men and women know the cost of anti semitism they can't fake at. it already seems that too many listening would on. time. and chief political editor make

sure has been following the commemoration for us today in the haleigh what touched you the most during the ceremony. well it really was the 93 year old survivor who we also had in our headlines there he was talking about that this happened meaning that it can happen again and he dedicated most of his speech really to a message to his daughter his grand children that they really need to watch out for those signs saying that the 11th commandment should be that thou shalt not be indifferent otherwise this could all happen again so this clear message into the future that comes from people who have suffered so much in the past and during the entire day in fact when you were speaking with these survivors what other messages did they bring to auschwitz 75 years now since it was

liberated. because i also had the opportunity to accompany survivors some of whom for the very 1st time what came back to our spirits and really what was tangible was the waves that they feel on their shoulders to not just tell their stories there seems to be also a point and shift here that this is a message for the future there's a lot of concern and when we talk of concern about the rise in anti semitism populism across europe you can see clear fear in their eyes that the horrors this breach of civilization that they experienced 1st hand should not be history that it could indeed happen again some are feeling that the 1st signs are there and they certainly don't want their families that they've built often been the only survivor

in their own family to go through anything like this again. as you highlighted there i mean the ceremony taking place at a time when we are seeing a rise of anti-semitism a rise of populism just walk us through specifically what you were hearing from the survivors on that front. well that that is something where they want to see governments act and this was also very strong message that came from ronald lauder who is the head of the world jewish congress who said that words simply wasn't enough many words have been spoken also from politicians with this very strong political symbol of standing united and pledging with the world being the witness in yad vashem last week that they will fight against anti-semitism and racism in every form well

ronald lauder said he wants to see action and he wants to see tougher laws and the state really clamp down where it can against the hatred particularly seen online that leads people to then also acts and one example that one law decided to to me but not in his speech today was the attack in howler last october where we saw one man trying to enter a synagogue in germany trying to kill jews luckily failed to enter and then killed 2 innocent bystanders and there's a clear link for a lot of says from the hatred online that isn't being tackled enough and people then actually acting upon that talk with us a little bit more about germany's role specifically today especially given its role nazi germany in perpetrating the holocaust. well germany's president. the highest representative of germany was here today

in the morning he received 3 survivors and they then came with him here to this commemoration on board the presidential plane this has to really be seen in context with the ceremony at yad vashem that political pledge that he was allowed to speak as the 1st head of state as the german president and he said that he came laden with guilt and wish he could say that this could never happen again that something like anti semitism was simply beaten in germany but the wasn't a case that was very well received in israel i think germany has a lot of credibility here that it has at least tried to do its part but there's also a clue when it's here that that will never end and that was also the message from germany that this responsibility never ends just like the flame and you have a sham is never extinguished. now our chief political editor. thank you
