74 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, where the Nazi horror reached its peak

This cold January 27, 1945, a Soviet troop commissioned by Anatoly Shapiro opened the gates of the largest Nazi concentration camp and declared "released from the German authority" to the 7,600 prisoners who were alive. It was Auschwitz, the largest extermination complex designed by Adolf Hitler and a heartbreaking symbol of the cruelty of his army.

We think that more than one million one hundred thousand people were killedamong them, more than 900,000 Jews, 74,000 Poles, 21,000 Gypsies from Romania, 15,000 Soviet POWs and 15,000 others of different nationalities.

In 2005, the United Nations National Assembly declared January 27 to be the International Day of Remembrance of the Remembrance of Holocaust Victims.

This Sunday, 74 years after the facts, the official memorial ceremony took place in Auschwitz itself, in Poland, where Holocaust survivors shared their experiences and visions.

The second part of the event was held at the monument located right next to the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau (one of the camp complexes), where survivors and guests lit candles in memory of the victims and prayed.

On Monday 28, President Mauricio Macri will lead a commemorative ceremony at the Saint Martin Palace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship.
