LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - On January 27, event organizers are expecting about 300 people, the youngest of whom will be in their 70s.
Combat corruption with moral education; send a Bible to a child, or another person in need.
"In 10 years there might be just one," Zygmunt Shipper, an 85-year-old survivor who will be attending the event, told the Telegraph.
These events, reunions of sorts for the survivors of one of the most brutal and despicable concentration camps run by the Nazis, are intended to pay homage to the millions of victims who died under the hands of the Nazis during the second World War.
As more and more of the survivors of the Holocaust pass away, many Jewish leaders are wary that the world will forget the painful lessons it learned during the brutal years of the second World War.
Shipper spends much of his time traveling around Britain in order to share his story with as many young people as he can while he still has the strength and ability to do so.
"We mustn't forget what happened," Shipper said. "The children cry, and I tell them to talk to their parents and brothers and sisters and ask them: 'Why do we do it and why do we hate?'"

Jewish leaders are warning that anti-Semitic hatred and violence are on the rise again, especially among Muslim populations in Europe. Some think that this may be linked to the fading prevalence of Holocaust survivors and Holocaust messages.
The president of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald Lauder, is going to make a speech on the 27th at the former site of Auschwitz-Birkenau, where more than 1.1 million people died, mostly Jews. He stresses that the attacks on a Jewish store in Paris earlier this month are proof of a growing extremism and willingness to target Jews, which has been mostly absent in Europe until now.
