Auschwitz remembered That was where Nazi doctors chose who could be worked to death and who was to go immediately to the gas chambers. Most went directly to their deaths. About 1.5 million people, most of them Jews , died in gas chambers or of disease, starvation, abuse and exhaustion at Auschwitz and Birkenau - the most notorious of the death camps set up by Adolf Hitler to carry out his "final solution" – the elimination of Europe's Jewish population. Soviet troops reached the camp on January 27, 1945, finding just 7000 survivors, many barely alive. The retreating Nazis had driven most of the prisoners who could stillwalk out into the snow on a "death march" toward camps further west. Six million Jews died in the Nazi camps, as well as millions of Soviet prisoners of war, gypsies, homosexuals and Nazi opponents. Vice-President Dick Cheney was to represent the United States. Germany's President Horst Koehler was to attend, but not to speak - an acknowledgement of Germany's role in the Holocaust. He was to speak to a youth forum instead. The forum, organised by the European Jewish Congress, brings young people from around the world face to face with Auschwitz survivors and the Soviet soldiers who freed the camp, many of them in their 80s. It could mark "the last chance we have to gather this cross-section of people together in the same room," said Moshe Kantor, chairman of the European Jewish Congress. Survivors said each new generation needed to be educated about the Holocaust. "It's very important. You are the last generation that can talk to the survivors. We are every day less," Trudy Spira, who was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 with her family as an 11-year-old from Slovakia, told reporters. "We can give living testimony . . . to let the world know, to try to get them to learn even though they don't, so that it doesn't happen again."
