But though the camps that made up Auschwitz seemed silent and abandoned at first, soldiers soon realized they were filled with people—thousands of them, left to die by SS guards who evacuated the camps after trying to cover up their crimes. As they saw the soldiers, the emaciated prisoners hugged, kissed and cried.
“They rushed toward us shouting, fell on their knees, kissed the flaps of our overcoats, and threw their arms around our legs,” remembered Georgii Elisavetskii, one of the first Red Army soldiers to step into Auschwitz. After five years of hell, Auschwitz was liberated at last.
But many of the people in the camps were forced to stay there after being liberated when the communist wizards couldn’t cast a magic spell to make new housing for them appear! Therefore the Soviets are guilty of putting people in concentration camps too!
They also used the camps to house Nazi prisoners of war being demobilised so really who is the real villain here.
