Some 80 years ago today Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi death camps. It marked the beginning of the end of the Holocaust: the murder of 6 million Jews, along with members of the LGBTQ community, Roma, and other targeted groups. Even as the survivors dwindle in numbers, the far right is on the rise in Europe and a wave of antisemitism is spreading across the world. Some Holocaust survivors later survived the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 as well, including Zvi Solow—who fled Poland, Italy, and Greece during World War II as the Nazis advanced across Europe.
