January 27 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, one of the most painful symbols of the Holocaust.

Over the years, this site has been visited by three Popes who, with their presence, have paid homage to the victims and reaffirmed the Church's commitment to memory and reconciliation. John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis have toured the grounds of Auschwitz, each with his own message of reflection, condemnation of the horror and call for peace, underlining the importance of not forgetting the tragic events that marked the history of humanity.
