LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - DECEMBER 01: Auschwitz and Belsen concentration camp survivor Eva Behar poses in her home on December 1, 2014 in London, United Kingdom. As the Russians approached Poland the Nazis saw the end of the war coming and Eva was sent from Auschwitz to Bergen on 1st January 1945 where she was eventually liberated by the British. Ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the infamous concentration camp are due to take place on January 27, 2015. Auschwitz was a network of concentration camps built and operated in occupied Poland by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Auschwitz I and nearby Auschwitz II-Birkenau was the extermination camp where an estimated 1.1 million people, mostly Jews from across Europe, were killed in gas chambers or from systematic starvation, forced labour, disease and medical experiments.
