January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The date was chosen because it marks the day in 1945 that Auschwitz, Nazi Germany’s largest concentration and death camp, was liberated by Soviet troops, revealing the horrors within.

The United Nations is commemorating the day with an event that will be livestreamed.

According to History.com, Soviet troops thought the camp in southern Poland was empty, but they were wrong.
