The Last Days of Auschwitz - War Against Humanity 126

When the SS evacuate the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp complex in the second half of January 1945, their intent is to make sure that no live prisoners get into the hands of the approaching Red Army. The death marches that follow are a final act of mass murder at the camp, that brings the death toll to close to 1.1 million murdered.
