Liberation of Auschwitz
The Russian Army revealed on Tuesday secret documents,
kept hidden in Moscow for 70 years, which contained personal testimonies of
officers and soldiers in the Red Army who took part in the liberation of
Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland on January 27, 1945.
"An endless convoy of people released by the Red
Army is leaving this concentration camp – there are Hungarians, Italians,
French, Czechs, Greek, Yugoslavians, Romanians and Belgians," it was
written in one of the documents, referring to the Jews transported from across
Europe to the death camp in Poland by train.
"They all looked like people who went through radical and horrible abuse. Among the people were elderly and small children, mothers nursing their babies and teenagers. Almost all of them half naked. At the Auschwitz camp, according to testimony, hundreds of thousands of people were tortured, burned to death, and hundreds of thousands were shot to death," it was written in another document.
