Auschwitz survivor Marian Turski condemns a “huge rise” in antisemitism, calling for “courage” against Holocaust deniers and conspiracy theorists, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp.
“Today, and now, we see a huge rise in antisemitism and it is precisely antisemitism that led to the Holocaust,” the 98-year-old tells fellow survivors and world leaders at a ceremony by the gate of Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
