Why no mention of the Red Army?

Yesterday the world remembered what Germany unleashed on the Jewish community during the Hitler years. Yesterday was Holocaust Day.

It was on January 27, 1945 that the Soviet 322nd Rifle Division liberated the remaining inmates at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland.

It was noticeable that Irish media outlets, including RTÉ, when referring to the liberation of the death camp, where over one million Jews were murdered, there was no mention of who the liberators were, the Red Army.
