The main ground for the commemorative ceremony was a museum on the venue of the former extermination camp. Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev has taken part in the meetings and made a gala speech that notions of good and evil are still mixed up and criminals become fighters for freedom and true liberators are accused of occupation. Diplomat has emphasized that an example of Auschwitz should form a stable immunity for historical amnesia.

More than a million of Jews were annihilated in the gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. According to various sources, from 1,5 until 2 million people of different nationalities including fifteen thousand Soviet prisoners of war died there. The Red Army could enter the camp on 27th of January 1945 only. Around 230 Soviet soldiers died in the fight for liberation of the camp’s territories.
