Lali Sokolov – better known as the Tattooist of Auschwitz, who was immortalised in the 2018 book that has sold more than 13 million copies in 40 languages – has done more to keep the horrors of the Second World War alive than most in recent memory.

Ruth Cohen, a 94-year-old American Holocaust survivor, returned to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland for the first time. She recalled seeing family members before they were separated for the last time at the camp.

World leaders and a dwindling group of survivors joined in a ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp by the Red Army.

January 27, 2025, marks Holocaust Memorial Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi Germany’s Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. CNN’s Melissa Bell sits down with survivors to speak about the importance of this specific anniversary.

That creates risks: the Holocaust didn’t begin with mass murder. The dehumanization of Jews progressed gradually from public exclusion to eventual internment to finally extermination. Millions of regular Germans—and Europeans more broadly—facilitated or silently accepted these actions.

During World War II, men, women and children were transported from across Europe to Auschwitz-Birkenau, horrendous journeys in which they were packed into cramped cattle cars.

The ceremony is widely regarded as the last major observance likely to see a significant number of survivors in attendance.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the families of two survivors who resettled in Pittsburgh shared their stories.

Survivors of Auschwitz, where the Nazis murdered more than 1.1 million people, urged world leaders to be vigilant against a dangerous rise in antisemitism and extremism during a ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the death camp’s liberation in 1945.

The Daily Express and the Daily Mirror both feature a picture of an elderly Holocaust survivor who returned to Auschwitz for Monday's ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of its liberation. The Express captions the image "returning to hell", while the Mirror's headline reads "it is our duty to remember".

Rabbi Neal Katz from Congregation Beth El in Tyler stopped by KETK on Tuesday to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp complex. Auschwitz was a series of concentration and extermination camps run by Nazi Germany in then-occupied Poland.
