The Soviet Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland on January 27, 1945. About 7,000 prisoners were in the camp when the Soviets arrived. Those left behind were too weak or ill to move as Nazi SS officers forced nearly 60,000 prisoners to march west as the Soviets closed in. Historians estimate that more than 1 million Jews, Gypsies, Soviet POWs, and Poles were killed in the camp. | PHOTOS | The liberation of Auschwitz | CNN
