The ceremony was attended by survivors of the camp, their families and representatives of the Czech government. The event was marked by a minute of silence and the laying of wreaths at the memorial.
The ceremony was a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and a call to remember the victims and to never forget the lessons of the past. President Pavel said that the world must remain vigilant in the face of rising intolerance and hatred. He urged the international community to stand together in the face of such threats and to work together to ensure that such atrocities never happen again.
