Holocaust Survivors Tell Their Stories on 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Determined to ensure that the Holocaust is not forgotten or denied, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany on Monday launched a digital campaign featuring 80 survivors of Auschwitz, the most notoriously brutal death camp in history, i24News reports. The German Nazis murdered more than 1.1 million Jews at Auschwitz in occupied Poland during World War II.
Titled “I Survived Auschwitz: Remember This,” the Claims Conference campaign was launched in time for this year’s 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation in 1945.
“The horrors that occurred at Auschwitz were an evil that no human should ever endure, but also an evil that no human should ever forget,” Claims Conference President Gideon Taylor said in a statement.
“While it is difficult to imagine oneself in a concentration camp, we can all relate to wanting people to remember loved ones we’ve lost, experiences that shaped us and moments that were important to us. It is critical that we educate future generations about Auschwitz. ‘I Survived Auschwitz: Remember This’ does so by connecting the generations with our shared humanity.”
One example of survivors’ testimonies featured in the campaign is that of Jona Laks, a twin who survived being experimented on by the infamous Dr Josef Mengele and who was subsequently sent on a death march. “When we were left alone on the death march, I vowed that I would dedicate all my energy, all my time, everything, to telling, documenting, conveying to people and telling what happened.”
“Because it is impossible for such a dark period to disappear from people’s knowledge and not enter history,” Laks said.
