Friday marks the 78th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Today the site, with its barracks and barbed wire and the ruins of gas chambers, stands as one of the world’s most recognized symbols of evil and an admonition of “Never Again” that has been a site of pilgrimage for millions.
This year, no Russian official at all was invited due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, according to the Auschwitz-Birkenau state museum. He was stunned seeing a little girl in a large crowd of refugees holding her mother with one hand and grasping a teddy bear in the other. One of the others, Stefania Wernik, who was born at Auschwitz in November 1944, less than three months before its liberation, spoke of Auschwitz being a “hell on earth.”
Among those expected to attend commemorations on Friday is Doug Emhoff, the husband of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. “We recall our historic responsibility on Holocaust Memorial Day so that our Never Again endures in future,” he wrote on Twitter.
