World pauses to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day

- 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.

- 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.
