The Liberation Of Auschwitz

During the Holocaust, Auschwitz would be transformed and developed into a huge and disturbing complex to carry out the evil extermination of those who the Nazis deemed to have been racially inferior. It would be where over 1 million people would perish inside the gas chambers, or from the horrific cruelty and horrendous conditions that the prisoners were held inside. Towards the end of World War 2, the Allies and the Red Army would advance into Nazi-occupied territory and would come across the true evils of the Holocaust, stumbling across different concentration camps. It would be the Soviets or the Red Army who would on the 27th January 1945 enter Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp of the Holocaust. What they would find is what the Nazis would leave behind, thousands of prisoners who were just abandoned and not forced onto death marches towards Germany. These prisoners were left to starve, but in the fierce fighting around the camp, a number of Soviet soldiers would die. Over 200 were killed in the fighting to liberate the camp, and once inside the true horrors of the Holocaust would be told. The Red Army would quickly attempt to provide care for those prisoners, but they were also met with a huge number of dead bodies just left inside the camp. Disease and starvation was rife at the camp, and initially testimonies would be told about the experiments, the experimentations and the brutal punishments and beatings administered by the guards. Auschwitz would be the largest camp of the Holocaust, but during World War 2 it would be one of many liberated.
