The liberation of Auschwitz took place 80 years ago today.
On this day, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust as well as those with disabilities, Roma-Sinti, gay people and all those who were murdered and who were victims of the Nazis.
It takes us all to win the peace and recognise the steps of division that ultimately lead us to horror. Those dark days must drive us to build a brighter future.
For those lost; rest in peace. For those who remain; never forget where the poison of antisemitism, extremism and hate can lead.
