As Soviet forces pushed back Nazi troops in Europe in 1944 and 1945, they liberated a number of death camps, including Majdanek, Auschwitz, Stutthof, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück.
THE FRONT GATE of Auschwitz carries the infamous phrase: ‘Arbeit macht frei.’ The writer states: ‘Perhaps we as Jews are less alone in our grief than we may fear.’(photo credit: KACPER PEMPEL/REUTERS)ByREUTERS
