Ceremonies are taking place to mark 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Some 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered at the Auschwitz complex, making it the site of the largest mass execution of human beings ever recorded.
About 50 survivors have returned to the site to lay wreaths and candles, and some will later give speeches at a service.
World leaders and King Charles are on their way to the event – but organisers want the dwindling number of survivors to be at the centre of the commemorations.
Polish President Andrzej Duda says his country’s job is to preserve the memory of Auschwitz "in order to never let it happen again".
