On this date 70 years ago, the Soviet Army arrived at the gates of Auschwitz.
Over 1.2 million people had been killed at the German camp. In all, the Germans slaughtered over six million people in the death camps.
Today is also the 71st anniversary of the ending of the siege of Leningrad, now St Petersburg. It lasted 900 days.
At Leningrad one million Soviet citizens lost their lives.
