On BBC1 now, a commemoration from Ausnwitz - very poignant. A couple of survivors are speaking. My daughter and I went there a few years ago

I’m watching now.

Also watching it, no words

Everyone should go there, it really brings the horrors home to you.

Heartbreaking testimony being giving at the moment, what a brave man.

We should never ever forget.

I found the laying of the wreaths and the candles at The Wall this morning very moving.

Very poignant. Does anyone know the name of the man speaking so eloquently now?

Just went to put the kettle on and missed his name

Hi first name is Eli, but don't know his surname. Will have to watch it again on catch up to see him being introduced. I can honestly say that was the most moving speech that I have ever heard.

I wept, his words rang for me

I can't put into words the sorrow I feel for those people.
