Auschwitz

A two-year effort is underway to preserve 8,000 children's shoes at the former concentration and extermination camp where German forces murdered 1.1 million people during World War II.

A shot of the Nazi concentration camp appeared briefly in a shot promoting a match between Dominik and Rey Mysterio on Saturday. The Auschwitz Memorial called the move "shameless."

Emhoff, the first Jewish spouse of a U.S. president or vice president, is in Poland and Germany to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and address rising antisemitism around the world.

Vladimir Munk left Auschwitz 75 years ago after the concentration camp was liberated by Soviet soldiers. Now, for the first time, he's going back to a place he calls a burial ground for his family.

It was the German leader's first official trip to the Nazi concentration camp. "These crimes are and will remain part of German history," she said, "and this history must be told over and over again."

With recent incidents of anti-Semitic vandalism in France, a group of women from different religious and ethnic backgrounds sought greater understanding by learning about the horrors of the Holocaust.

Former prisoners gathered at the site of the former concentration camp to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Survivors and victims' descendants traveled from around the world to the Nazi death camp, at a time when Polish politicians are pushing controversial Holocaust legislation.
