French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday on the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust that France «does not forget» the Jews deported to concentration camps.
«78 years after the liberation of the Auschwitz camp, France does not forget the deported Jews and all those who, with them, were victims of Nazi barbarism,» the French president said in a message on the social network Twitter.
According to Macron, such events will remain «in the memory», underlining his will that they will never be repeated, he said in his message.
On January 27, 1945, Red Army soldiers liberated the survivors of the German concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz, in occupied Poland. The Nazis had murdered more than one million people there. Since 2005, this date has been celebrated as the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust by designation of the UN General Assembly.
