The Soviet Liberation Of Auschwitz-Birkenau
The Red Army finally breached Auschwitz at the beginning of 1945 on January 27. There they discovered a warehouse hoarding the prisoners’ valuables. Among the piles of possessions, they unearthed shoes, crockery, spectacles, and prosthetic limbs. The site was initially presumed to be desolate, until masses of famished and ill victims were found wasting away that the fleeing guards had left to their fates. Georgii Elisavetskii was one Russian veteran who encountered this desperate lot, who ran towards the soldiers hysterically, virtually worshipping those liberating them from hell on Earth.

Thomas Cave Of Oregon Was Tattooed With His Social Security Number
During the Great Depression’s peak, people like Thomas and Annie Cave were forced to work like slaves all year round just to make $550, an amount which, with today’s inflation, equals $10,000. The couple managed to rent a small apartment for a monthly rent of $12, which would become a comparable luxury when their jobs ended. 1937 saw the commencement of The Social Security Act, and four months later Thomas would get this unusual tattoo, one that he had done to ensure that he always had it literally on hand. Before you think that this was common practice, know that Thomas was alone in his thinking!
