Question

How did the Soviet press and government handle the liberation of the death camps?

Answer 1

According to a number of historians, the Soviet Union attempted to obscure the Jewish aspect of the concentration camps, at least in Soviet media accounts in the wake of the liberation of concentration camps in 1944 and 1945.  In the Russian press, the Germans were depicted as simple beasts, but their focus on killing Jews in the concentration camps was down played in the media if not actually outright hidden.
