Schulz added: "We have come together here in Auschwitz today to keep the memory alive. Remembering is painful. But we must teach every generation how these barbaric acts of evil could happen in one of the most modernised societies of that time."
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz German Nazi concentration camp by Soviet troops. Established in 1940, it was the biggest death camp, where more than1.1 million people lost their lives.
MEPs commemorated the anniversary in January, while in April they called for recognising 2 August as Roma Holocaust Memorial Day to commemorate the Holocaust's Roma victims.
