Exhibition opening: The Holocaust: Annihilation, Liberation, Rescue
Exhibit focuses on the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945 by the Red Army and the Soviet doctors who saved the remaining prisoners
The exhibition features more than 80 documents and photos from the archives and museums of various countries, as well as several unique exhibits — among them a letter by Anne Frank’s father, Otto, about being “saved by the Russians”.
The exhibition focuses on the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945 by the Red Army and the Soviet doctors who saved the remaining prisoners in the camp. Special attention is devoted to the post-war lives of the liberators and the prisoners, based on their personal documents, many of which were found by Russian schoolchildren and teachers during the Liberators project.
Visitors will also see excerpts from books by Italian writer Primo Levi about his liberation from Auschwitz.
The opening will be held with participation of Ilya Altman, co-chairman of the Russian Research and Educational Holocaust Centre and professor of history at Russian State University for the Humanities. He told the news agency TASS that this was the first in-depth look at Holocaust history on the occupied territories of the Russian Soviet Republic and at the Red Army’s role in saving European Jews.
