far? >> well, apart from the site that they remember astonishingly clearly despite advanced age and how long ago, the real horror of life here and particularly arrival here they talked about seeing their close relatives, their parents for the last time upon arrival, the stench of the burning bodies in the cemetery and awful things they were able to describe in some detail and they talked about how in many cases for a long time after the war they did not want to talk about it but that decades later they realized they had a duty to and feel it more strongly and as there are fewer and fewer all of them said they tried to come here quite often and visit schools and tried to talk to people about it as much as posossible becacause they ar worried that the memory of the horror that took place here will fade as those who have first-hand witnesses are no

longer around. >> in addition to those holocaust survivors of course several world leaders marking the day there as well. the polish and the israeli presidents just gave a joint press briefing. tell us more about that. >> first of all i would like to say the ceremony here doesn't want to be a political event. they want to put the survivors in the spotlight so the speakers are going to be the director of the auschwitz memorial museum and also the head of the world jewish congress and the polish president expected to make a short speech introducing the survivors. there aren't going to be political speakers in there trast to the commemoration held in israel on thursday. but there was a meeting between the polish president and the israeli president amid tensions really between the two countries particularly over historical policy and about the fact that israel hosted this event which the polish president did not attend

because he was not invited to speak when vladmir putin did speak. and he used his briefing to again reiterate that he was really very offended about that and he actually upped the ante by saying he was more offended when he saw at the event in israel thai did not talk about poland's contribution to fighting the nazis and all the things polish people did fighting along side the alleys. this is in line with the national government's historic policy. they feel that polish's contributions is not appreciated by the world community and say i i a at ever possible opportunity. . some might think that this is not the most appropriate moment to say that but he went to say it was and tried to have more reconciliatory words but at the same time they weren't all that reconciliatory. he said he did know it wasn't the israeli authorities but a

ed by a oundation head close friend of the russian president. he did finish up by saying how glad he was that the israeli president was attending the ceremonies here. >> thank you for that. we'll be checking back in with you throughout the day as we will be covering those ceremonies live as they happen starting at about 3:30 p.m. french time with coverage host. meanwhile another ceremony paying tribute to the victims of the holocaust today held in paris. the french president unveiled a new wall engraved with the names of the 75,000 french victims of the holocaust at memorial in the historic jewish quarter. >> the immense camp of

auschwitz seemed almost empty to its liberators. just 7,000 survivors at death's door. the small handful of people that they could hope to save from the worst crime committed against humanity. the deafning silence of the dead, the hallowed eyed survivors was a slap in the face for europe, for france. the shame of its passivity and the supreme horror of its complicity. >> one of the survivors who was tat memorial in paris today, one of france's last survivors of auschwitz. she was 19 when she was brought to that camp with her father, brother, and nephew. she is now 95. and as europe marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation she went to return last week accompanied by a group of school children. as they heard her retell her story. >> the railway journey to
