About 300 Auschwitz survivors have gathered at the site of the former Nazi death camp to mark the 70th anniversary of its liberation.

The commemoration will be held at the site in southern Poland where 1.1 million people, the vast majority Jews, were killed between 1940 and 1945.

It is expected to be the last major anniversary event that survivors are able to attend in considerable numbers.

Heads of state and representatives from wartime Allies will also be present.

Events include the laying of a wreath, a church service, and the lighting of candles at a memorial in the former death camp of Birkenau, which was part of the Auschwitz complex.

Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Red Army of the Soviet Union on 27 January 1945. It opened as a museum in 1947.

I watched that Holocaust: Night Will Fall the other night and I think those images will stay with me forever. Truly horrific. It's good to hear all the survivors stories though and how courageous they were. Definitely something that shouldn't ever be forgotten.

Its unbelievable that people are denying this ever happened.

I believe its really important that our children grow up fully informed of this monstrous atrocity. We must never forget.

I agree Kaz - Man's inhumanity to Man, but I never call bastards like this Human -- they're evil demons pure and simple.
