"Standing here today, we carry the weight of *one of the darkest chapters in human history* - a solemn reminder of what must never be forgotten. "We owe it to those who perished, and to those who survived, to remember: *every name*, *every story*, *every life lost*." These were the words of Parliament President Roberta Metsola who attended the ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. The refrain of '*never again*' has had a direct bearing on the creation of what is now the European Union, which at its origin is a project of peace and reconciliation after World War II. _#weremember_
