In some niche circles, they’re trying to push the narrative that Ukrainians liberated Auschwitz. It’s true that they were heavily involved, but they want to downplay the fact that the Ukrainians were fighting as the Red Army of the USSR and not just “Ukraine”.
But that doesn’t even matter. I didn’t even know they liberated any camps until I started college and became more skeptical of liberalism. Before then I thought that the US simply liberated every concentration camp while the Russians were sending human wave attacks to the Germans. I don’t think this was explicitly taught to me, but the way so much was omitted about the USSR + the previous propaganda, I might’ve just naturally came to this conclusion. So imagine what the average education is like in today’s time
Yeah, I don't really have a perspective on average history class propaganda because I had a good history teacher. I learned about the black wall street massacre in my american history class, for example. It's a bit of a culture shock to see how textbooks in places like Texas are.

Yeah they always lie by omission about this. It's pretty easy to realize it though, since it's like "oh these death camps are horrible, especially ones like Auschwitz. Anyways, here's a picture of the US liberating this other one."
