Over 200 Holocaust survivors and delegates from more than 50 countries will gather at the site of the former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau on Monday to mark the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation, Eurasia Diary reports citing Deutsche Welle.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier met with three survivors in Berlin in the morning before travelling together to the site of the camp in Poland.
The President of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald Lauder, told DW that "speeches are not enough to stop anti-Semitism." He blamed the internet for spreading hate against Jews, and called for greater legislation to police hate crime.
"We have to stop that. Unfortunately most governments just talk, they don't do it," he said.
