Survivors of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz are gathering at the site of the former concentration camp to mark the 65th anniversary of its liberation.
Survivors, some with grown children — along with others there to honor the millions killed by the Nazis — moved among the barracks and watchtowers of Auschwitz and Birkenau, neighbouring camps that stand as powerful symbols of the Holocaust.

The camp was liberated by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945.
