Ceremonies are being held today, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which in Germany is known as the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of National Socialism. On this day in 1945, Soviet forces liberated Auschwitz in Nazi-occupied Poland, the largest and deadliest of concentration and extermination camps, where hundreds of thousands of people were tortured and killed under the orders of Adolf Hitler. In total, the Nazis systematically murdered an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, in addition to Roma and Sinti people, homosexuals, people with disabilities and political opponents. DW’s Aya Ibrahim spoke to a Holocaust survivor with a message of hope for the world.
