Pro-Palestinian activists showed up outside the Auschwitz concentration camp this week as they continue their campaign against Israel’s war against Hamas.
Footage online showed the demonstrators congregating outside the entrance to the notorious death camp to protest the March of the Living Event to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Located outside of the Polish city of Krakow, Auschwitz is notorious for being the beating heart of Nazi Germany’s industrial death machine, where millions of innocent people, most of whom were Jewish, were systematically murdered during the Holocaust.
Today, the 31st March of the Living is taking place at @AuschwitzMuseum, the site of the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz.

Mail Online reports:
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have sparked outrage after staging a protest near the grounds of Auschwitz – as Israelis, including October 7 survivors, marched to honour victims of the Holocaust.
Sirens wailed as protestors displayed a banner reading ‘Stop genocide’ at groups wearing Israeli flags along the sidelines of the ‘March of the Living’ event, which brings together thousands annually to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day in silence.
Eyewitnesses claimed protestors were ‘chanting’ at participants on the march, with Israelis responding with lines from ‘Am Israel chai’, a Jewish solidarity anthem.
Videos of the protest circulated across social media:
