Education
There is no way to understand postwar Europe and the world without an in-depth confrontation between our idea of mankind and the remains of Auschwitz.

We, Survivors, know that the consequence of being an alien is active persecution. 80th anniversary of liberation of Auschwitz.
On January 27, 56 Auschwitz Survivors met in front of the Death Gate at the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp.
