April 11 is the International Day for the Liberation of Prisoners of Nazi Concentration Camps.
It was on this day that the Red Army liberated Buchenwald.

Judging by the denial of historical facts, it is you who deny historical facts.
Holocaust included?

Fun Fact:
1.1 million for a watch Hitler never wore
Once again, an object allegedly belonging to Hitler's private collection has been auctioned off for millions. In the U.S., a wristwatch was offered whose origin is questionable and which does not fit the dictator's lifestyle.

Lots of Russians buy and keep Nazi memorabilia....as do people from many countries.
Where does it say anything about this being somehow 'state level', could you clarify please?
The biggest surprise about this is that this piece of 'memorabilia' was sourced in the US considering the huge amounts of Nazi loot, trophies and souvenirs that were taken back to Russia after the end of the war.
Sure, lots of similar items found their way to various countries in 'the West' but Russia really was at the forefront of such things.
Personally I never really thought much wrong with that; Russia suffered a lot at the hands of Nazi Germany, I can understand why people would do that.
I don't understand why you are trying to make an issue out of something that in the grand scheme of things is really trivial.
Lot 538: WWII NAZI GERMAN HITLER PHOTOS CAPTURED BY RUSSIAN
Item Overview
Description
Lot of 5 WWII Nazi German black and white photos, each one depicting Adolf Hitler; inspecting troops, greeting officers, and seated beside a party leader. All five photos have Russian / Cyrillic stamps on the back indicating they were passed in the field by Russian intelligence censors and taken as war souvenirs by a soldier of the Red Army. Slight discoloration and age. Very Good

Ha ha, from the country where people are being incarcerated for refusing to call the invasion of Ukraine a 'special military operation' and instead calling it exactly what it is; a war.
Where people are being imprisoned for speaking out against that war or simply expressing dissatisfaction with your de facto dictator.
As for the woman in question; She was/is German and its in Germany.
Germany has quite strict Holocaust denial laws, for a reason; so that Germans never forget what was committed in their name and with their explicit knowledge.
Excessive in my opinion, but I understand the reasoning.
That is, you support criminal punishment for Holocaust denial,.....
..... but you do not support the denial of Nazism.
A strange position that contradicts itself.

You apparently have not read "1984" and "Animal Farm" by Orwell.)))))
Just look at the map. In whose zone of occupation was Buchenwald.
Recently, NARA was contacted by United States Holocaust Museum film archivist Lindsay Zarwell to notify us that Auschwitz survivor Lilly Engleman Ebert had identified herself in a reel of U.S. Army Signal Corps footage. Ebert’s great-grandson managed to track down the short clip amongst hundreds of thousands of hours of footage. The record, part of Record Group 111: Records of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, 1860-1985, was filmed by Signal Corps members attached to military units tasked with rehabilitating and relocating liberated camp survivors. Ebert was imprisoned at Auschwitz before being forced on a death march to Buchenwald, where she was eventually liberated by American soldiers.
