Jewish youths march in honor of Holocaust victims

Thousands of youths from Israel and other countries marched in silence Monday at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi death camp in Poland, to pay homage to 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust.

Frank Lowy of Australia, a Holocaust survivor whose father died in the camp, joined the youths as they walked between the two main sections of the complex, Auschwitz and Birkenau. Israeli armed forces' chief of staff, Benny Gantz, son of a Holocaust survivor, made a speech to them. (AP)
