On Monday, the world marks 75 years since the liberation of the largest Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz in Poland. Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová is representing Slovakia at the commemorative event taking place on the site of the former camp on the day also marked as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Moreover, representatives of the EU, Council of Europe, United Nations, UNESCO and 200 former inmates of the camp are also taking part in the ceremony. The first transport to the camp came from the eastern Slovak town of Poprad in 1942.
One of the Auschwitz prisoners, who were so to say the last to leave the camp alive, was Mrs. Edith Grosman, who originally came from the eastern Slovak town of Humenné. She is now 95 years old and lives in Toronto.
