Candles were lit at dawn across Europe as communities marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day, reflecting on the millions murdered by Nazi Germany and the attempt to eradicate Jewish life. Ceremonies took place at Auschwitz, where survivors and dignitaries laid flowers at the Execution Wall, and in Berlin, where white roses adorned the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The anniversary, observed globally on January 27, commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and honors the memory of all victims, including Jews, Poles, Roma, and others. With the number of living survivors dwindling, many continue to share their stories, ensuring that the horrors of intolerance and hatred are not forgotten. Across the continent, from Amsterdam to Turin, solemn events underscored the enduring importance of remembrance and the lessons of history.
