Warehouse of victims' clothing at the liberated Auschwitz camp complex. Poland, after January 1945.
When Soviet forces liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp complex in January 1945, they found evidence of the crimes committed at the camp by Nazi German authorities. This evidence included warehouses of clothes and other belongings stolen from Jews murdered in the gas chambers or imprisoned in the camp.
