Auschwitz survivors walk through camp gates on 75th anniversary of liberation.
Auschwitz survivor shares his story 75 years after liberationJP Keenan/ABC News, Sherman sits at his dining room table, with a blurred, blue tattoo still visible on his thinning inner arm: B2593.
A group of child survivors stand behind a barbed wire fence at the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau in southern Poland, on the day of the camp's liberation by the Soviet Army, Jan. 27, 1945. The children were dressed in adult uniforms by the Russians. One of his neighbors, who'd been out after 5 p.m. was summoned to an office where he was killed, Sherman said, his eyes welling up.
"When they unloaded us, they hit you over the head, didn't give you the time to think," Sherman said. Leon Sherman kept these photos of his brother and mother with him throughout the Holocaust. When he arrived at Auschwitz and was taken to the showers, he tucked the photos into his shoes. That also gave Sherman an up-close look at the ditch next to the crematorium where Jews were dumped out of trucks and burned alive."If a kid tried to creep out [from the fire], they'd put him back with a rifle butt," he said.
