the Red Army was the Russian Army in WW2 and what they had to do with the holocaust is still up in the air The first camps liberated were by the american forces the Red Army whichw as controlled by stalin allowed the Nazi's to slaughter thousands of Polish Jews before stepping in to help before poland was invaded by Russia. Then they only liberated the camps and helped them after some negotiations between Stalin and FDR. The Russian army did defeat the germans on their front but at a very high cost. Their casaulties were much higher than the allies on the western front. Some say at the battle of stalingrad more Russian soldiers were killed by their own troops than the germans. So saying that they helped the Holocaust victims is still up in the air.

The Red Army was the ground forces of the Soviet Union.
Red Army units were the first allied troops to find the Nazi death camps during the Second World War. Though the Nazis had concentration camps throughout Germany and the occupied areas, the six major death camps were located in occupied Poland, which the Red Army over ran in 1945.

....the red army basically won WW2. They were the brave Soviets, fighting literally tons of Germans, far more than us English, the yanks, Canadians etc. The only thing they did in terms of the holocaust was liberate the camps that they marched past on the way to Berlin

I have relatives that were in the Red Army (Armia Krasnya). Uncles and two direct descendants; a great great grandparent and two great grandparents. I had a great great grandmother who became an atheist and joined the October Bolshevik Revolution. She was only 16 at the time. She got married at 13 to my great great grandfather who was drafted into the Russian Imperial Army and died during a battle in WW1. It was an arranged marriage. Her father was a Cantor and she agreed to marry him. She fell in love with him when she met him for the first time, married him, made love, got preganat with two twin boys, and one became my great grandfather. Her bitterness at losing her wonderful husband that she never had a chance to have a life with propelled her away from a belief in G-d and towards the Communist ideology.
Anyway the Soviet system is dead and now the military tradition of my family is continuing in the American Army.
The Red Army was basicaly very anti semitic and did nothing positive for the hoocaust survivors. It was an all Japanese Unit in the American Army that were the first to liberate a death camp.
The first meeting of Soviet and US forces occurred at the Danube River. Strangely enough the language of the Jewish people was the first medium between the Soviet and American commander. When they met, neither side had anyone who could speak English or Russian. There were two Jewish soldiers who could speak Yiddish though. One in the US Army and one in the Red Army. So these two soldiers translated Russian into Yiddish into English and back in reverse into Russian.
