OSWIECIM, Poland (AP) — The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops is being marked on Monday at the site of the former death camp, a ceremony that is widely being treated as the last major observance that any notable number of survivors will be able to attend.

Politicians were asked not to speak at this year's event, as it could be the last time survivors gather on 27 January, the date when the Soviets liberated the Nazi death camp in 1945. View on euronews
