UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made a visit to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz on Monday to pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Ban said “nothing can truly prepare one for this epicenter of evil, where systematic murder unique in human history reached its atrocious climax.”

Ki-moon was shown exhibits as well, detailing the horrible conditions and lives of the concentration camp inmates. “The world must never forget, deny or downplay the Holocaust. We must remain ever on our guard,” Ban said during his visit.
The UN chief vowed to safeguard the testimony of Holocaust survivors “so their legacy will never die.”
“We will continue to shine a light on these unspeakable crimes so that they [may] never be repeated.”
This was the first visit by Ban Ki-moon to Auschwitz; the last UN Secretary General to visit the former death camp was Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 1995.
