On 27 January 2020, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Ahead of this important anniversary, the Presidents of the 3 European institutions issued a joint statement, in which they said: “The Holocaust was a European tragedy, it was a turning point in our history and its legacy is woven into the DNA of the European Union. Remembering the Shoah is not an end in itself. It is one cornerstone of European values. A Europe that places humanity at its centre, protected by the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. […] As the numbers of survivors is dwindling, we will have to find new ways to remember, embracing the testimonies of the descendants of survivors. […] We cannot change history, but the lessons of history can change us.”
