Remember the millions who can't tell us what they went through, Auschwitz survivor says



Ceremonies are being held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Around 50 survivors have returned to the site to lay wreaths and candles, with some delivering speeches. Marian Turski, the first to speak, emphasized the importance of remembering the millions who cannot share their stories. Turski, 98, survived the Lodz Ghetto as a teenager before being deported to Auschwitz, where his father and brother were killed.

King Charles, in a side event in Krakow, stated that "the responsibility of remembrance rests on our shoulders." The BBC is marking the occasion with special programming across TV, radio, and online. Auschwitz, where 1.1 million people—mostly Jews—were murdered, remains the site of the largest recorded mass execution in history.
