Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolish President Andrzej Duda speaks after Rivlin at the March of the Living ceremony at the Birkenau death camp in Poland.
He begins his speech by describing the experience of those who arrived at the camp during the Holocaust.
“Auschwitz is ‘a synonym of the Holocaust,'” he says.
“Here Jews were terrorized, separated from their loved ones, they were deprived of belongings and taken to the gas chamber. Many died within an hour of arriving.”
