78th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIBERATION OF GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP AUSCHWITZ
27 JANUARY 2023

Polish President Andrzej Duda will preside over the ceremony, which takes place as fighting continues to rage in eastern Ukraine. Poland has emerged as one of the strongest supporters of its neighbor Ukraine, accepting hundreds of thousands of refugees and facilitating military transfers from the West.

The ruined gas chambers, sparse wooden barracks and other facilities that are toured by some 2.3 million visitors each year are “an eloquent warning to mankind, how eloquent today in light of Russia's war crimes in Ukraine,” the museum’s director, Piotr Cywinski, said when the 78th anniversary ceremony was first announced.

Russia responded sharply. "No matter how our European 'non-partners' contrived in their attempts to rewrite history in a new way, the memory of the Soviet heroes-liberators and horrors of Nazism cannot be erased,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
