There were also eight survivors and refugees from Ukraine. One speaker recalled the suffering that is taking place in the neighboring country of Poland as a result of the Russian war of aggression.
Polish President Andrzej Duda had already commemorated the victims of Auschwitz. On the wall of death, where prisoners were shot, Dudley laid a wreath.
