The world commemorated the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Ceremonies at Auschwitz II-Birkenau included 50 survivors and leaders such as French President Macron, German Chancellor Scholz, and Polish President Duda. Organizers emphasized listening to survivors’ stories, as this may be the last major anniversary with their presence.
Survivors highlighted the importance of preserving Auschwitz’s memory and warned about rising hatred and extremism. Elon Musk’s endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD sparked backlash, with concerns about minimizing Holocaust guilt. Extremism continues to rise globally, with recent incidents like Islamophobic attacks and political violence. Holocaust survivor Eva Szepesi urged early action against such trends, while the UN has called for global efforts to combat hate speech and extremism.
