On the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, surviving inmates warned of resurging antisemitism as politicians commemorated the event. Leaders like King Charles and Chancellor Scholz listened to survivors recount their harrowing experiences, emphasizing the ongoing struggle against intolerance. Polish President Duda reaffirmed Poland's role as guardians of memory. The ceremony, likely one of the last with many survivors, highlighted the importance of remembrance amid rising far-right sentiments in Europe. Auschwitz used to symbolize the genocide of 6 million Jews and the event served as a vital reminder of the historical lessons as societal tensions echo the past.
