67th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation raises questions about the future.
A look at the difficulties facing curators keeping the Auschwitz museum a powerful site of memory.
The Auschwitz museum was the site to the celebrations of 67th anniversary of liberation of the largest German concentration camp, where up to 1.35 million people were killed during the Second World War - most of them Jews.
while the living testimonies of the survivors become memories, the discussion about future of Holocaust education carries on. Our reporter Hagay Haconen spoke to Israeli ambassador to Poland Tzvi Rav Ner, Pawel Sawicki from the Auschwitz museum and Florence Mitra from France, who's family died in the camp about the possible futures of the historic site.
