break off. we're glad you with this today marks 80 years since the liberation of the nazi death cap alphabets birkenau a name that has forever scored. our collective memory of this anniversary is a solemn occasion the time to remember the millions of innocent lives stolen by nazi tiered. it's also a day to honor the survivors, their numbers dwindling, their courage and resilience, and inspiration to us all in the next hour will reflect on the events of this very dark chapter in human history. and most importantly, we'll hear directly from those who live through the horrors of al shifts. we want to go now to my colleague julia so daily. she is out. today's commemoration events at the former hour shifts birkenau camp, located in poland. julia, while we are waiting for the commemoration to start to kind of set the stage for

today, what can we expect or yeah, so we already saw some survivors come together this morning here at auschwitz, and they laid candles and paid tribute to those didn't survive the camp but also remembered their own experiences here, and they laid these candles at what is called the wall of death, which is the area of i'll shoot square executions would take place where people would be executed and shot to death. and that was a very touching moment to this morning, and throughout the day we've seen delegations from heads of state and government also visiting the site here to also pay a tribute to. now, the commemoration ceremony is about to start and we can expect to see there some musical attributes play, some music being played. and these are all a piece of music that were composed. for example,

by survivors of the accounts here at auschwitz. and the people who are uh, have some sort of connection here. uh tu, tu. our schmidt's and we also expect some uh, survivors to speak of the director of the irish wits memorial has said that this year the focus will be on the survivors. that will be no politicians or people involved in politics. heads of state giving any speeches, essentially will all be on the survivors, and the focus will be in the time will be dedicated to them to commemorate to remember and to also make sure that had only the survivors who had to experience the throughout atrocities here in auschwitz, but also the younger generations. people who weren't alive at the time, remember what happens and keep that strong in mind. yeah, the attention to today on the survivors of it. and that's important because their

numbers are dwindling with each passing day. that's an important to keep in mind. here in the studio with me is my colleague, our correspondence johnny was on his shawnee, you know, maybe you, if you could talk to me about the significance of this date, particularly for, for jewish people. i mean, the world is focusing on l. schmidt's. why is it so important today? well, you know, this is a relatively new occasion in the international uh, you know, calendar, i would say it could only been stated by the u. n in 2005. so, so 20 years ago and, and of course, the symbolism behind the whole world taking an international holocaust day. and commemorating that, you know, the terrible atrocities of the holocaust was very meaningful. when he was in stated, was envisioning a initiative of the, of the government of israel back then. but it became ever since quite a consensus in many other nations in the world, not germany force included in the ceremony. in new address in story in alphabets is

a very big pillar of that to bring us back to the place it was liberated on this day. and this is why the state was chosen for the 27th of virginia. and we're here, these live pictures there. we see right there king charles from the u. k. c, the german that'd be president of the stein meyer. behind him. we also saw the printing president zalinski there. shawnee, i mean, it has been 80 years since the camp was liberated and we know with the passage of time the voices of those who actually survived their voices are dwindling in numbers. right. correct. we have less than quarter 1000000 survivors to live in the world. a born by any time between 19281946 we are in the younger among amongst them are quite old in the, you know, reaching a, a to years old. of course, that's the nature of, of biology. you know, time passes or they have to pass, but it leaves on us the question in the end, the obligation to think,

how do we keep on the message, the legacy, the, the, you know, of the bravery of what they have just so and what else humanity needs to learn from houghton to fund the holocaust and what is the beard with it for so many suffering, not just with jews, but so many others. and this is something that we've been grappling with, i think as a, as society, definitely in germany for quite some time. but it's something that the world is slowly starting to realize. it's a, it's a problem that we need this to think of. how, how would you grade society model decides usability, right now, to convey the lessons from elements from the whole, the cost to the new generation. i think it's, i think it's, it's this a calendar, you know, those witnesses even when they do still manage to go to schools to be active in bringing education to the younger generation. the gap is as big a to it to accept that you're not sure you've reached those young people, but they're also in the folder attends that sometimes get a lot of criticism. i'm trying to make it more accessible. one of the survivors we

will see today, for example, has a take talk, a counselor, she's trying to connect to the younger generation, with the help of her grandchildren and tell about her, you know, survival at her story. we're watching these live pictures here in the 1st speaker is now approaching to the pony. but let me just tell you a little bit about see we're about to hear from right there. you see i'm it's already on tor sky. publish, historian, journalist holocaust survivor, serve as editor in chief of the spend the low ditch. i hope i pronounced that right, which is a nationwide daily newspaper of the union to polish youth back in 19561957 from 1958 onwards. who is a columnist for the moderately critical police as the head of the weekly's historical department. so this is a journalist to be see right now he's going to give the opening comments when

he approaches the podium or reaches the party. and i think so let's just for a moment, they may be stuck in what we're seeing right now because just the act of him walking up to the podium. correct, is not an easy act for him because this is not a young man, right? and this is not an easy situation to be in or in it and use a place to be a going back to, you know, i'll sure it's as you, as originally said at the beginning, it's as fits into hans. and you can use the song of all this devices, v some the sorry news. gosh, i welcome the distinguished good sounds whose key to my welcome who have gathered here. and this tend to be so hard should i welcome those who are listening to us all the re do that kind of watches on tv and in all the

come in several decades? here's a score. yeah, thank you for your attention. the you just started from the 98 year old, more young force the there in austin survivor. also with the international after the counsel that was welcome address. let me just ask you something here while we're waiting for the next speaker to come up on a very slow, a very deliberate message. but, and a warning as well. so very much who seems to be sending a message of a who's may have not learned all the lessons that should be there. and there was

a talking about i'm holocaust deniers and the need to to struggle to get to fight against that. but he also tried to remain a bit, i'm optimistic, quoting a known jewish rabbi about how fear is never a good plan, how you need to. there's many threats and the only way to tackle them is, is definitely don't not by fear. and this tiny old man, everything has been through and you know, as a journalist, you see his sharp minds where he been trying to try to build a very elaborate case here in his, in his speech. and it's interesting to notice that on the 4th, because we will c, r o colon natives or born in poland. and not all of them have stayed in poland like he has, which is also quite a very accent. just isn't it for a moment,

the good . the good. ringback good

the good us and we are now waiting for the 2nd speaker to come up in the service. we'll call you midwest. we should be getting a yvonne so but on you it was 95. so it's one of those right? you're saying like this, you know, i got a worse, a native who has had all her life. i've been very much. i can were so in the city

she lived in. that was all you were, so i'll get over to repair. she went back to work. so after the war, and this is something that i was trying to touch on before many, the jewish community in poland was the biggest jewish community in europe at the eve of all too. and it was almost fully designated over 3000000 of the about 3 and a half 1000000 who used to live in poland. come, hadn't been murdered by the knots as in the holocaust. and many who tried to come back after the holocaust found it to be very complicated to stay in poland and then also after under soviet occupation. very few polish jews who were polish natives. have every made enough confines for ladies and gentlemen who dokie to move to, to do and to tell you just don't feel like i get it out. and i was here the 1st for giving me stores for these lab poundage in the mails that had been moved

here for the most me 720 people all together. that 1st was the 80 for any of us to rebuild the 1st transport conditions. david, this is the 18th, 21st of the capital ration when the camp stopped in separations. he's put in that as in good enough said that you food of food in the house? yes. yes. this is how the capital protected. and i'm not allowed to think of this as you can shake this originally. it was a cab for political in the present, those people who are not happy with the patient. this one was depot. lowe's, this list. i don't then the who jones o s. window low june slouch to utter so vague association of including those go to your visit is what the younger people experience would you be

moved to a teenage boys for the or what's the difference in this account take away scouting with them and so for inside you to move the inmates with those here so that you can use this cam tubs presented to a camera. so is it a p o w, as in use, don't ship most of those properties windows here. but these are known to all those tools of the discount key, because here they are both for the company. so 1st, you know, good citizens and most russian is us. and then you become subject to jesse is made or we used to test various tooling gases, which gas would be the most efficient to go up here and say that incident happened, but 1941,

there's nothing in there. so it would be a t p o w is the vice when move to the truck vision, come because this is why we our and this is where you start to build a model that you can ok human. and they went through out a very happy with excess. remember winters here, we're truly tragic. lots of polls. i think there's lots of very hard work a little different, you know, you would do so liked. and this thing here was to choose 100. even roku much so launch $19142.00. this is one of the calculus coefficient. 12000 p survivors were moved here, but only 500. so the ones you can always read the

women. it would be brought to it because on to the point where women from 2 links from all over europe, given the belgians french check, the remaining tell you the women at the most of the said what power almost easy to use because it's something they know that the operate is the kind of which guess what the best, which is when they start to do that it gets treated. and i just want to go to the bottom. they start to put in the construction of the guess printed something for the tory or use a blue next. yeah. yeah. the crematory, i mean you told me were renting it. yeah. so when will the guest dream is and that is when it was no longer. so that's why she, that's such a few do kelly pass us. so we have to have this is when the killing machine started . so probation come,

i think this is where she is. again to king factory started separation, all they would do here would be to legal people. some people would be another 2 other counts, but most of the exterminator which is difficult to calculate for the most would be registered to do a lot about many it's owing you been in meetings by people with is brought in here from other cultures and they would be driven directly to guess tremendous and crematory, and see this is calling me on the just calculate down the road. a 1000000 jews when the done this way. so they wouldn't be taken directly from the room, but if it gets straight, nobody knows exactly how many people died. this intention room knows that the of the year was 1943 i bought from june to san savvy at area.

although by, you know, to the end of the continents, including asia and north america, they would bring a notion as though the guy who wrote me, they quoted cold h u. c. chips account because of a web includes that they quoted the family time, but we brought in here as the robot with the wireless service to the doctor, to remind you that it was the cousin william take care of. i've done yet even before the manager and that everybody's got, the 2 should have conducted everything, including the drum and rash as the superior around all the others were inferior, and the juice and the room. uh,

but basically the human. so they should be in extra amenities and was telling me that i've done the exhibit the room on the road approaching the spits. yet in whole time it is because he specialized in conducting experiments with chokes on it. so that way you had to find a better. they were also children then, and they sent you a rather then she would experiment to the one baby. and it's funny because this isn't that many wrote my diet here because of diseases misery and she goes, she had a chance of us to go to the light. now guys, i guess the most of the 43 villa usage says it's done with as many as 4000 roman center living. yeah. no cheaper than that. it was it. this is on. yeah. the vision you did, they will take it as of the direct route to get the tree in the morning to the next

day around i don't a single living room. i was thinking it was because men gonna have completed his experiments and he no longer seen some material to work on this. i would shift about. so here's the locus of 1942 here, close to the end of the show. that is what the sugar when of standing in the upper right using stroke. how are you on the 1st of august sent to us an uprising against the drum. and so here's what is needed. the code is that chavez and sort of the drug and went to the city because the service, the russians were needed on the inside of the middle, the on the bank of the vision. and there is a lot of in this study to pose rose because they wanted to with the capitol east of the drug. and that's when we turned that in. and it started destroying the category

of the way, given the oldest, the flats and the city all the inhabitants of the city, but to be towed in the 1st 6 condition in the district of frank, for the 50000 civilians were killed, they would be dragged out of the homes and slats, and short of the street the houses would be settled. so i understand that they sent me each. i lived in the various saves neighborhood. yeah. so that was late. yeah, they would be that sort of 7 since you had the of with chase that special event cameras set. thompson jones, the master needs to close the voltage this nothing. yes. the houses or the fire people with the thoughts into this you can improve on that. and then for where we can segregate visa, those included work, that's a subject today. just a moment we shouldn't, under the preventative is, would be like,

is the 1st of germany. put them for full slavery, those expensive. and then they would be in consideration kind of shit use and that goes to the 12 say this is when i was, was transported here to washington. beautiful now, and that's have you ever do up to the 10s of thousands of or so. and so is the weather over here. many women will move throughout the spring until you meant to consult on. so that means he's attempt to see the many this and so i'm in here. the next them to a visible thing is to ship here. so what are we celebrating is celebrating the ration this is when the cab stopped this operation. maybe when it happened into issues that were the few inmates division. if you will see, the germans were 40 per fee to use. you could hear the short just issues of approaching the front line and just yeah,

they just saw you had to tell you the inmate out of the cab and move the mouse. well jesus w d t. so those that had stage with the sick. ready young, but don't get this feeling pregnant women. so when the account was liberated, basically 5 to 10 percent of and mutually directed to the $100000.00 inmate was what taken out of here, the sluggish into a forced on the desk, the launch to which is less slow scheme and the officer county. i'm use of the robins break for the you know, you said sent 11 digit is valid. one more cather, this is even where my stuff was. so i was literally just actually blazer that can be of the sentence that are 2 people. here's this expression which is of the present or concentration of capital account. it seems like it was open to people

what kept the thing is this camp has been undergoing a number of both proceedings. jo tyson until isn't yet moved. it should say to it killing. so i chose, i, if it hasn't been, i would like to need a quote just to just in can to finish the 194500 young people into my shoes, all over the world where you and you, for a i never again, if they was the slow people believed that the role would never happen again because so they painted this and the dog pages, nothing to do. and yet the people who made certain predictions, they predicted that it is impossible for these things to happen. again, you see, because people became so human that the is my isn't supposed have to leave

again and sees the interesting decent in middle school in 1950 polish right to essays as a relative to something about the impact this is that a sensitive i know she wrote a lot about the whole ad war in general of including she population based obstacles . no, definitely call them is a you and let me read out to you his words. now he's does he show to you ready to fall away from me? you said as a child, why these 40 c amount not well, you know, is that is avoided the instruction. so no, it should be the same the supplier that so the consequences of variety see, is that they must not to disregard. those who possess such a full side for the older generation of these may be of assistance. my thoughts are

with the young best, who have their lives for in k is condemned to any one leaving no place or reason to sleep. thank you very much. the that was the 95 year old need to be once they are the house of supervisor supervisor. and so let me just ask you on what really struck me is what she said of the very in there that liberation came later. it didn't come actually 80 years ago today. well in a certain way and the war kept on going and only in may, we know is victory day and so. so for her calling because she was no longer in the camera. that was the case. indeed, i'm and it's interesting to,

to she found it important invest. i'm coming relations also bring up to the front. all those were not yours for were murdered and put your the not to the center, you know, but of course, prisoners of were political prisoners, russians defense and people from all of us, of, of the one and 1100000 estimated people were murdered to death and now shirts out of them are the found 900000 art has believe to be jewish, but the other 22200000. we're just 5. other people is january 3, 27 my whole life. since i was a little girl, i sort of, it is like birthday this is my birthday january 27th. i celebrated every single year. in fact, today i got all kinds of

e mails. some of my friends.
