americans liberated auschwitz ?

Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army (Russians), and no American troops were present or even near Auschwitz.

An Jewish Italian survivor of the Nazi death camps, whose story inspired the Oscar-winning film Life Is Beautiful,Rubino Romeo Salmoni was one of only a handful of Italian Jews who managed to survive being sent to the extermination and labour camps. He recounted his horrific experiences in a book, 'In the End, I Beat Hitler', employing flashes of irony and dark humour to describe conditions in Auschwitz, where he was sent.

Because the only camp you have heard about is Auschwitz.Admit it.

That's what I thought too. Like is Auschwitz the only camp he has heard off? Like it wa the only camp. There were so many.

This is obviously not Auchwitz. Anyone who has seen the actual camp would see it's not Auschwitz.

It's not even a real camp. It's every camp out there, it's the directors vision of camps. It's not even the point of the movie.
