Hello, I'm Lucy Hawkings from the BBC World Service.
This is the global story.
It's 80 years today since the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated.
As we commemorate the memory of these 6 million Jews and other groups murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust, a survivor of Auschwitz tells us why it's more important than ever to remember what happened there.
The true horror of what happened in concentration camps across Europe is almost too difficult, too distressing to comprehend.
Many of those who entered Auschwitz and other camps when they were first liberated couldn't believe what they saw there.
I have just returned from the Belsen concentration camp.
I find it hard to describe adequately the horrible things that I've seen and heard.
The first broadcaster to enter one of these camps was the BBC war correspondent, Richard Dimbleby.
I passed through the barrier and found myself in the world of a nightmare.
His eyewitness account depicts a scene of such unimaginable horror.
The BBC was initially reluctant to broadcast it because at this point, nobody in the wider world had seen or heard of what was happening behind the gates of these camps.
One woman, distraught to the point of madness, flung herself at a British soldier.
She begged him to give her some milk for the tiny baby she held in her arms.
She put the baby in his arms and ran off, crying that she would find milk for it because there was no milk in her breast.
