More than 50 world leaders, including King Charles III, will join a group of survivors from the Nazi death camp on South Poland on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the release of Auschwitz Red Army, where where More than 1.1 million peopleMostly Jews, were killed.

The day of the ceremony, overshadowed by the increase in nationalism in Germany and several other European countries, will be held near the former gas chambers and cremators in the Polish city of Oswiecim, whose name is germalized in Auschwitz during Hitler’s occupation in 1939-1945 Poland.

The trust will start early Monday with the Auschwitz survivors – who counted thousands at the end of World War II in 1945, but mostly died – setting wreaths on the wall of death. Wall, In the yard between the former barracks, the SS guards executed prisoners there and remained greased with bullet holes.

Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and President of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation, said in an interview that “this is the most important anniversary we will have because of the festive number of survivors and why it happens in the world today.”

“We thought the anti -Semitism virus was dead,” he said, “but he was just hiding.”

Less than 50 survivors will participate in a commemoration on Monday, less than half of the number that attended the 75th anniversary. “There will be very little in five years,” Mr. Lauder said. “And those who are still alive will not have energy.”

The number of foreign dignitaries, however, is increasing. This year’s guest list, the greatest ever, includes many government leaders and at least eight kings and queens. Among them are the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz and his president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The probable successor of Mr. Scholz, Friedrich Merz is also expected.

With less than a month before Germany holds a general election, Mr. Scholz, Mr. Merz and other main German politicians are trying to suppress support for the alternative to Germany, a hard right party known as an AFD, which is widely seen as a dangerous return to nationalism that Hitler brought in Hitler to power in the 1930s.

At an election rally on Saturday in East Germany, politicians and politicians and Elon Musk, top adviser to President Trump, who spoke of video linkThey called the Germans not to feel guilty of the crimes of their grandparents.

That’s what he calls for a gathering for “great Germany,” Prime Minister of Poland said on Sunday, Donald Tusk, “he sounded too familiar and wicked, especially just hours before the anniversary of Auschwitz’s release.”

None of the leaders at the event will speak on Monday. As part of the anniversary of the event, House where Nazi commander Auschwitz lived with his family -What was the subject of the Oscar film “The Zone of Interest”-will be replaced by visitors for the first time after the sale of the Polish owners on the Counter Extremism Project, a New York group.

Piotr Cywinski, Polish historian and director of the Auschwitz-Birkenu Museum, said his state institution wants to avoid political speeches and survive the survivors and the memory of Nazi victims at the center of events on Monday.

“Remembering,” he said in an interview, “it’s not just crying when you look at the past, it’s not just empathy just when you look at the victims. This is not enough. Memory is, I mean, really the key to today and the key to finding your position today.”

The US delegation will be led by Steve Witkoff, an envoy of President Trump in the Middle East, who played a key role in the negotiations on the recent Gaza and Hamas trial agreement, and Howard Lutnik, candidate Mr. Trump for the secretary’s secretary. Also in the delegation is Charles Kushner, the father of the son -in -law of Mr. Trump Jared Kushner and who is the choice of Mr. Trump as an ambassador to France.

Russia, which regularly participated in annual events in Auschwitz, was not invited to this year’s commemoration, despite the liberation of the Soviet army at the camp in January 1945. Representatives of Moscow were expelled from the annual events from the beginning of Russia’s extent to Ukraine in February 2022, who justified the Kremlin by a false pronunciation that Ukraine, whose president of the Jew, was managed by the Nazis. Ukraine has been invited and will be represented by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Under President Vladimir V. Putin, Russia has transformed the Soviet role in a defeat of Hitler into a national cult in which anyone who disagrees with the Kremlin is acting as a Nazi. It is never mentioned by the fact that the Soviet Union was effectively Hitler’s ally until 1941, when the Nazis began to swim Jews in Auschwitz. Moscow and Berlin signed a pact of non -authoria in 1939, which led to an invasion of Poland by the Nazi and Soviet forces later that year.

Maria Zakharova, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, lambasted Polish commemoration organizers on Monday, telling them that “your lives, jobs, fun and only your people, your children paid for the blood of Soviet soldiers who defeated the Third Reich.”

Prokrajina voices on social media responded, claiming that Ukrainian, not Russian, had released Auschwitz. The first troops that reached the Auschwitz-Birkenau exterminate complex 60. The army of the first Ukrainian frontSoviet force consisting of soldiers from the entire Soviet Union. They released about 7,000 prisoners from the main camp in Auschwitz, from a nearby Birkenau and from a Working Camp in Monowitz.

Political struggles in the Middle East were also inflamed, with a collapse activist who demanded that Poland’s arrest members of the Israeli delegation, which is expected to be led by the Minister of Education Yoav Kisch because of what they call “genocide” in Gaza. Last year, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Although Mr. Netanyahu was not expected to attend, the Polish government announced this month that all Israeli officials who came to be safe from arrests would.
