According to Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, Director of the Auschwitz Memorial, the vast cemetery that Auschwitz represents should not become a space for politics during the anniversary of its liberation. He stated in an interview with the Polish Press Agency (PAP) that without the voices of Survivors, the threat of politicisation would hang over the commemoration. He added that he would like political leaders to stand in silence during the ceremony.
