World pauses to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Commemorations honor survivors and victims of the Holocaust, with a 400% rise in hateful content across Europe, underscoring the need for education and vigilance, U.N. reports.
- Soviet Army forces opened the gates of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, liberating the camp in occupied Poland and finding 7,500 prisoners and 600 bodies; January 27 is now International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
- Auschwitz-Birkenau was the Nazis' largest centre of systematic slaughter, where over 1.1 million people were murdered and nearly 60,000 inmates were forced on death marches.
- Data show fewer than 200,000 Holocaust survivors remain worldwide, half living in Israel, median age 87, and only 50 Auschwitz survivors attended last year's ceremony.
- Commemorations on the anniversary were held across Europe and at the United Nations on Tuesday, while Poland's President Karol Nawrocki joined survivors at Birkenau and former prisoners laid flowers at the Execution Wall.
- Claims Conference data show $530 million in compensation and $960 million for welfare were distributed in 2025, while the Auschwitz site remains a central symbol of Nazi genocide.
