Today, January 27, is designated Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day in 1945, the Red Army finally liberated the tortured souls at Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in southern Poland as WWII came to an end. More than one million victims at that camp did not live to see their rescuers’ approach, killed by gas chambers, starvation, death marches, and brutal forced labor. Soldiers present at the liberation later shared haunting reflections about the horrors they witnessed upon reaching Auschwitz. In the intervening years, a rallying cry of “Never
