French President Emmanuel Macron and the French president's wife Brigitte Macron pass the gate with the lettering in German "Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work Will Set You Free), following commemorations on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Red Army, in Oswiecim, Poland on January 27, 2025. The camp was set up by Nazi German occupiers in southern Poland in 1940 and liberated by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945 -- just months before the end of the Second World War.
