Amid the backdrop of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon and his Russian counterpart, Vasily Nebenzya, decided to join forces and convene a historic event to mark the liberation of the notorious Nazi death camp, to be held at United Nations Headquarters in New York next week.
The event will be attended by Auschwitz survivors and Russian veterans who took part in the Soviet military campaign to liberate the camp. Also attending will be U.N. Secretary General António Guterres, other senior U.N. officials, ambassadors from across the globe, and representatives from pro-Israel organizations.
Danon and Nebenzya will also inaugurate a photography exhibit about the Auschwitz liberation.
“Seventy-five years after the liberation of Auschwitz by the Allied forces, we will commemorate that historic event in the place where the decision was made that paved the path to the establishment of the Jewish state. This is the hour for cooperation between [Israel and Russia],” Danon said.

Three months after Auschwitz was liberated, the U.S. Army liberated Dachau concentration camp in Germany. There, after seeing the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis, the GI’s lined up over 125 SS troops against a wall, and killed every single one of them, with a machine gun. The Army wanted to prosecute those troops, who were involved for violating the Geneva Convention, pertaining to treatment of prisoners of war. However, General George Patton, to his credit, dismissed all charges. against those soldiers.
