Photo. Shoes from children who were killed in Auschwitz remind of that few survived.
Travel Explorations has during the two previous years published several articles about what happened to the children in Auschwitz. I visited Auschwitz in June 2009, and my strongest impression was the view of a huge berg of collected shoes from children in a glass monter. For me it symbolized the most terrifying act done by humans ever in the history. This will hopefully never be forgotten so it will never happen again.
On Thursday 27 January in 2011, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, under the patronage of the Polish President Bronisław Komorowski, will hold the 66th ceremonies of the liberation of the Nazi German Auschwitz Concentration Camp by the Red Army.

The Liberation of Auschwitz 1945!
Featuring footage (extremely disturbing) was used to indict the Nazis during the Nuremburg trials. This shocking documentary records the liberation of Auschwitz, the notorious Nazi concentration camp which was set up by German occupant on the Polish territory near Krakow in Oswiecim, and changed by Hitler into “Auschwitz”.
Shot by Russian filmmaker Captain Alexander Vrotsos, the film provides a horrific record of the brutality that was wreaked upon the Jews there. It also documents the desperation and sadness of the over 6000 prisoners who survived, the courage of the liberators of the camp, and the terrible evidence of torture and death that awaited them there when they arrived in 1945.
