70 years ago, on January 27th, 1945 the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Soviet Red Army troops. About 1.5 million people, most of them Jews, were killed at the infamous camp, but following its liberation approximately 200,000 inmates managed to survive; not without damage, as they remember their family members that did not. Above: Marian Majerowicz, 88, was registered with camp number 157715. Originally from Myszkow, Majerowicz was 17 when he was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. At the camp he was briefly reunited with his father, who told him that his mother and younger brother were both killed in the gas chambers. Majerowicz's father didn't survive the war.
