The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops is being marked on Monday at the site of the former death camp. The ceremony is widely being treated as the last major observance that any notable number of survivors will be able to attend. Survivors, like 86-year-old Tova Friedman, warn about rising hatred and antisemitism.

"The world has become toxic," she told The Associated Press a day before the observances in nearby Krakow. "I realize that we're in a crisis again, that there is so much hatred around, so much distrust, that if we don't stop, it may get worse and worse. There may be another terrible destruction." "We Poles, on whose land — occupied by Nazi Germans at that time — the Germans built this extermination industry and this concentration camp, are today the guardians of memory," Duda said to reporters afterward.'Our duty ... to remember'
Commemorations will culminate later Monday when world leaders and royalty will join with elderly camp survivors, the youngest of whom are in their 80s, at Birkenau, the part of Auschwitz where the mass murder of Jews took place.
