As the Allied troops moved forward into the areas that had been occupied by the Germans they found the camps. There was no way to hide them or the people they had tortured. In some cases they tried to load people into box cars to hide them and then move them into a remote area, but they were more worried about escape than the deeds they had done. I had a professor in college who was an American army officer in WW2 and he was in a group who found one of the camps. He stated that the Germans were at afternoon mess when they found it, so they went in and shot the Germans as they sat eating lunch. Today people can visit the camps so we will never forget what humans and do to other humans.
