By laying symbolic wreaths and lighting candles, in silence and concentration, tribute was paid to the victims of the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp KL Auschwitz-Birkenau and its sub-camps. Auschwitz is a shocking testimony to the lack of value of human life, a warning and an obligation for current and future generations to always respect human dignity regardless of the circumstances.

We therefore thank all those who seek the truth and tell about the victims and perpetrators of this inhumane crime – said Agnieszka Molenda – Kopijasz, president of the Foundation of Memory Sites Near Auschwitz-Birkenau, during the ceremony.
