January 27 2010 will mark the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, an event that will be attended by a group of world leaders that now includes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu will first arrive in Warsaw, where he will hold talks with Polish leaders, followed by a visit to Auschwitz for the memorial ceremonies.

The ceremony will feature Auschwitz survivors and a candlelit march to the Monument to the Victims.
