"On Auschwitz" (43): the film Chronicle of liberation of Auschwitz

The Auschwitz camp was liberated on January 27, 1945, by soldiers
of the Red Army. Well-known are the scenes captured by Soviet
cameramen, which, although not showing the exact moment of
liberation, are important documents revealing the crimes
committed by the Germans in Auschwitz.


It is essential to remember that some of the film material was
created for propaganda purposes. Edyta Chowaniec from the Film
Archive of the Museum explains the circumstances of the creation
of the so-called Auschwitz Liberation Chronicle
