"Speaking with RT for the 75th anniversary of this event, Martynushkin says he has been surprised to discover over the years that many Poles and other Europeans have been led to believe that it was American soldiers who liberated Auschwitz. Even when he went to take part in the shooting of a documentary in Krakow, some Poles he encountered were“adamant”that it had been the Americans who liberated them."
“They could not understand why they had been mistaken for so long. That’s something that has been etched into their memory,”he said, adding that he doesn’t get angry at those who don’t know the full story.
