January 17: Final Roll Call at Auschwitz On this day in 1945, the Red Army of the Soviet Union freed the Polish city of Warsaw from Nazi control. More than half of Warsaw’s pre-war population of 1.3 million had died, including 98 percent of its nearly 400,000 Jews, and the city had been reduced to rubble. Anticipating the Red Army’s advance, the SS at the nearby Auschwitz concentration camp complex held a final roll call and began an evacuation, with some 60,000 prisoners setting out on death marches to the west. . . . jewishcurrents.org/january-17-final-roll-call-at-auschwitz-564
