Thousands of people including dozens of Holocaust survivors gathered in Poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27. More than 1 million people -- mostly Jews -- were murdered at the infamous World War II Nazi death camp. As RFE/RL's Una Cilic reports, survivors and their descendants used the solemn occasion to warn that the atrocities of the Holocaust should not be forgotten.
