Friday marks the 78th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp in Poland.Just before Nazi Germany invaded Hungary in March 1944, Jewish youth leaders in the eastern European country jumped into action: They formed an underground network that in the coming months would save tens of thousands of fellow Jews from the gas chambers.
