Eighty years ago, January 27th, 1945, the Soviet army entered Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration camp, on January 27, 1945, liberating the approximately 7,000 prisoners who remained. Earlier that month, the SS (Schutzstaffel) the elite guard of the Nazi regime marched nearly 60,000 prisoners west, the “death marches” to minimize the evidence of Nazi atrocities in the concentration camp.
This is not a commemoration of the anniversary. Rather it is a memorial to all the victims. The story is a horrendous one and should be recalled and taught in every high school history class.
