Liberation 1945

About the liberation of the concentration camps and the bestiality and inhumanity of the Nazis in their treatment of the Jews. Six million were murdered in a systematic genocidal program carried out under the cover of World War II. This book focuses on the spring of 1945, when Allied advance into the Germany uncovered numerous concentration camps, and establishing assembly centers to temporarily house survivors awaiting new destinations.
