TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY CHARLY WEGMAN Israeli race walker Shaul Ladany, a sporting champion who escaped a Nazi concentration camp and survived the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, sits in front of his trophy cabinet during an interview with AFP at his home in Omer, a quiet suburb of the southern desert town of Beersheva, on April 30, 2012. To some, Israeli race walker Shaul Ladany is the ultimate survivor. This year, Ladany turned 76, but he has hardly slowed down. He celebrated the same way he does every birthday -- by walking his new age in kilometres. AFP PHOTO/JACK GUEZ (Photo by Jack GUEZ / AFP) (Photo by JACK GUEZ/AFP via Getty Images)

ORANIENBURG, GERMANY - JANUARY 27: Carnations hang at the infamous entrance gate that reads: "Arbeit macht frei", or "Work sets one free" at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial on January 27, 2020 in Oranienburg, Germany. January 27th will mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, the most notorious of the many Nazi concentration camps. The Nazis began the operation of Sachsenhausen in 1936, initially as a prison for their political opponents, but later used it for other groups, including Jews and Soviet prisoners of war. Sachsenhausen was the first camp to test the use of gas chambers for perfecting the mass murder of prisoners. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)
