"I have lived in New York for 75 years, but I still remember well the terrible time of horror and hatred," survivor Inge Auerbacher, 87, told the German parliament. "Unfortunately, this cancer has reawakened and hatred of Jews is commonplace again in many countries in the world, including Germany."
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution in November 2005 establishing the annual commemoration, and chose Jan. 27 — the day that Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by Soviet troops in 1945. "Our country bears a special responsibility — the genocide against the European Jews is a German crime," Bas told a special parliamentary session in Berlin attended by the country's leaders. "But at the same time it is a past that is everyone's business — not just Germans, not just Jews."
Auerbacher recalled being nearly hit by a stone thrown by Nazi thugs during the anti-Jewish pogrom of November 1938. In August 1942, she and other Jews were transported to the Theresienstadt camp-ghetto. Friedlander and her husband immigrated to the U.S. in 1946 and returned to Berlin in 2010. She has since been travelling around Germany to tell the story of her life and promote remembrance.
