The shoes of Holocaust victims remain piled in a room at the Auschwitz concentration camp near Krakow, Poland, Feb. 18, 2017. A group of 50 soldiers from 588th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, visited Auschwitz, the largest Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers, with more than million people killed there during World War II. Unlike the history they witnessed, the BEB Soldiers now are part of an Atlantic Resolve mission that seeks to preserve the liberties of Polish citizens.
