The Associated Press (“AP News”) reports that the world’s focus will be on the remaining survivors of Nazi Germany’s atrocities on Monday (1/27/2025) as world leaders commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Observances will take place at the former WWII Auschwitz Concentration Camp located in southern Poland, where Nazi Germany murdered more than one million persons, most of whom were Jews targeted for elimination by Adolf Hitler. During WWII, more than six million Jews were murdered.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum expects about 50 survivors of Auschwitz and other camps to attend memorial events this Monday, where ‘the powerful’ will sit and listen to the voices of the former prisoners – while there is still time to hear them.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum‘s website states, in part, that Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide and the Holocaust. It was established by the Germans in 1940 in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich and its name was changed to Auschwitz.
The establishment of the camp was said to be due to mass arrests of Poles exceeding the capacity of “local” prisons, with the first transport of Poles to KL Auschwitz from Tarnów prison on June 14, 1940.
Initially, Auschwitz was to be one more concentration camp of the type that the Nazis had been setting up since the early 1930s. In 1942, it became the largest of the extermination centers where the “Endlösung der Judenfrage” – the final solution to the Jewish question and Nazi plan to murder European Jews – was carried out.
The conditions at Auschwitz were sickening – pure evil.

My brothers and sisters, we live in a time, not that many years after the end of WWII, in which it seems that history is being forgotten or intentionally altered to minimize the truth of the wholesale slaughter (genocide) of more than six million Jews during WWII.
FGGAM recently reported HERE that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend events in Poland marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp because of the risk he might be arrested in accordance with warrant(s) issued by the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) in The Hague.
It is hard to overstate the seriousness of the antisemitism sweeping across the globe at this time – even as we commemorate that 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s war crimes, including the Auschwitz concentration camp (extermination facility).
It seems that the deceit of Satan has blinded and corrupted the minds of countless persons and governments around the world – including right here in the United States. Sadly, one needs to look no further than what we routinely see reported on mainstream news broadcasts, including the actions or statements of students and faculty in our colleges and universities! The evidence is all around us if we will seek the truth and allow the Lord to give us the spiritual eyes to see.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (Amplified Bible)
“But even if our gospel is [in some sense] hidden [behind a veil], it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing; among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving [emphasis mine] to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
It’s hard to believe that in 2025, 80 years beyond WWII, that the lessons of the holocaust have been forgotten!
As Christians, we should not relent in praying for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, which comprises the Holy Land where Jesus was born, lived, crucified, resurrected (defeating death and bringing eternal salvation) and is the very location where Jesus will gloriously return to earth to establish His reign and peace on the earth.
Whoever desires peace must seek Jesus! The Bible tells us that the government will rest upon the shoulder of the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)
“For unto us a Child is born, [u]nto us a Son is given; [a]nd the government will be upon His shoulder [emphasis mine]. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
I’ve said it many times before, but it is critical that we remember what the Bible has to say about the Jewish people and Israel.
Deuteronomy 7:6 (NKJV)
“For you [the Jews] are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself [emphasis mine], a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
Zechariah 2:8 (Amplified Bible)
“For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘[a]fter glory He has sent Me against the nations which plunder you—for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.’”
