Pope Francis has kissed the tattoo of an Auschwitz survivor during a general audience on Wednesday

VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis has kissed the tattoo of an Auschwitz survivor during a general audience on Wednesday. Lidia Maksymowicz, a Polish citizen who was deported to Auschwitz from her native Belarus by the age of 3, showed the pope the number tattooed on her arm by the Nazis, and Francis leaned over and kissed it. Maksymowicz told Vatican News that she didn't exchange words with the pope. “We understood each other with a glance,” she said.
