📅 #OTD in 1945, the #RedArmy liberated the prisoners of the women's concentration camp #Ravensbrück.

The prisoners, who survived inhuman medical experiments & other atrocities of the SS, greeted the Soviet liberators with joy.

🕯 "Never forget the black night of Ravensbrück!"

The #RedArmy liberated #Latvia from the Nazi occupation - Latvian Legion Waffen-SS formed, 48 prisons, 23 concentration camps, 18 Jewish ghettos.

150'000 Soviet soldiers gave their lives to free Latvia.

Now, in 2022, in Latvia 🇱🇻 we witness:

restrictions and bans on the use of Russian language,

Nazi collaborators and accomplices glorified,

while monuments to Soviet liberators demolished.

Even celebrating May 9 and Victory Day - the liberation from Nazis - is prohibited.
