On January 27th, International Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed.

Exactly 80 years ago, the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated.

Auschwitz was the site of indescribable brutality, where one million of the six million Jews who perished under the barbarity of Hitler's Nazi regime lost their lives. Remembering its horrors is not only an act of remembrance but also a gesture of commitment to humanity in the face of the dangers of resurgent extremism today.

As the President of Brazil, I renew my commitment to the fight against antisemitism and all forms of discrimination.

Never again.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 

President of the Republic
