📅 27 Januari 1945 📍 Polen

Soviet forces entered Auschwitz-Birkenau and Monowitz, finding thousands of prisoners left behind after the SS forced many others on death marches. Survivors faced illness, grief, and uncertain futures amid a devastated Europe. Liberation did not undo the murder of millions or quickly resolve the displacement of Jewish survivors across borders.
