US Senator reflects on Auschwitz liberation
US Senator Barbara Mikulski has reflected on the legacy of the former Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz in the lead-up to Tuesday’s 70th anniversary of the liberation of the site.
Democrat Mikulski, whose great-grandparents were Polish immigrants, stressed at the Senate Forum that 90 percent of the victims of Auschwitz were Jews, adding that the state of Israel must exist, so as to provide security for Jews.
“In occupied Poland, the Nazi governor Hans Frank declared that Poles would forever be slaves of the Third Reich,” Mikulski said.
