What is the ''liberation of auschwitz'' all about?

[GEORGE ORWELL]

CELEBRATING STALIN'S TAKE OVER OF AUSCHWITZ. On January 27, a yearly so called celebration of the liberation of Auschwitz will take place, mostly performed in Churches and under tutelage of the Polish state Roman Catholic Church and the Synagogue. What this so called ''liberation'' consist of we are not told, and no one seems to know. So what is it all about? And is ''liberty'' such a simple thing as just carrying some flowers and candles around for whoever stately good calls for it, or is it much deeper? Is man born free, but is all chained down till his grave?
