January 27 marks 80 years since the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated at the end of World War II. Out of the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis during the war, around 1 million were killed at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The camp, which today is a museum and memorial site, stands a symbol of the worst crime against humanity ever committed. EPA Images spoke to five Auschwitz survivors ahead of the anniversary. 📹 EPA | Neil Hall

Focus story : 20 years after the Tsunami: Survivors’ Stories from Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka
https://epaimages.com/misc.pp?code=71782
December 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, also known as the Boxing Day tsunami. The disaster struck on 26 December 2004, triggered by a 9.2 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The tsunami claimed over 220,000 lives, internally displaced more than half a million people, and left hundreds of thousands without livelihoods, according to the United Nations, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and Thailand sustained massive damage from the catastrophe.
Two decades later, survivors like Marlina from Indonesia, Suwannee Maliwan from Thailand, and Randika Kumudumali from Sri Lanka still vividly remember the trauma of that day.
