Tuesday marked 70 years... since the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.Nazi death
World leaders and survivors gathered to remember the some 1-point-5 million people who died at the hands of Nazi troops there... now, a symbol of the Holocaust.
The presidents of Poland, Germany and France joined some 300 Auschwitz survivors... in a commemoration held at the site of the death camp.
The emotional ceremony was marked by talks by survivors... one who challenged world leaders to remember the horrors of the Holocaust when addressing atrocities like those in Darfur and Kosovo... as well as the recent terror attack in Paris... that had targetted a kosher market... where four Jews were killed.
The event in southern Poland could mark one of the last major anniversaries attended by a large showing of survivors... given that the youngest are now in their 70s.
Some 1-point-5 million people... mostly European Jews... were gassed, shot, hanged and burned at Auschwitz during World War Two... before its liberation in the winter of 1945.
