11:03 pm
one of the biggest challenges with this rest to your operation is basically the fact that we're talking about that. so that finishes the hedge by the way, that it is like a joke. uh, lots in the cool is, is the epicenter of the escalade. and also we're again and it takes time to get to those places. the roads have him blocks for quite some time. the army, the engine is trying to clear some of those rows, but they have to do with capital in a way that does not block aid and supplies to trickle into the areas affected like this $11.00 of the hardest hit areas in my records. this is where they had a couple years with line to different areas. a mixture clinic has been established here and you can see the trucks behind me carrying more and more aid so that
11:04 pm
they can get to full. the affected areas provide all the needs to those affected? how should by law, how does is the uh, platinum yeah, cool. south of matter. i guess in medication many people are spending another night outside. nicholas hong has been speaking to some of them. see where it says to on the hills of the by j, how is it for 100 year old structure that with done with good the strength of the earthquake. but look around me, crowds of people have gathered and they've come here because this square, which is away from the walls of the medina, is the safest place for them to spend their nights. but here's the challenge. they have little access to food, water. and we've seen other residents, the wealthy residents of our affairs, come here, distribute water distribution, painkillers, medicine. you can see the army,
11:05 pm
some of the people that are spending the night here are sick with the hospitals of this city are overwhelmed with those that are injured in this earthquake were 75 kilometers away from the at the center. look at the sheer number of people affected by this earthquake direct process. 300000 people have been affected and with the hours going by, the death pool is likely to rise from our perspective since this morning since this afternoon that we've been here, we've only seen volunteers other residents from the, from our cache. coming to the medina to help fellow a residents of this city. we haven't seen the authorities distribute any food. we've seen the police and the security forces around this area and some of them are actually working inside the medina. that's right behind me trying to clear the
11:06 pm
rumbling would save that throughout the day, but frankly they're overwhelmed. there's so much work ahead. there's so much deb rate. we walked inside one of the homes in the medina and these are walls that are crumbling. it's medina, that silver s i was in years old. and so this earthquake a has done a reversible damage. i've spoken to some of the people that are spending the night here. they're too scared to go back inside the mids. and you know, despite all the work and the promises made, there was so much fear and anxiety of what lays that had any of my colleagues fully brought to you. but i spoke to caroline, hold, she's the global head of operations, of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. and she described what they're doing. and morocco, as this response is very much being organized with the american government taking the lead at this point. and of course, with national agencies on the ground, the army on the civil defense. but also i'll talk to the american reg present. we
11:07 pm
know that activities are being undertaken. they are also being prioritized which is quite natural at this point. search and rescue is critical us we just to, from, from your repulses catching people at this moment in time. those the buried under the rubble. it really is a race against time, as you said yourself, them as a short window and also now to start accessing those very remote places. because the extent of the injuries, the extent of the number of deaths and survivors. i don't think that we know the full picture of that. yeah, we're just over 36 hours since the events itself and the needs assessments and the information is still clearly evolving. yeah, indeed. as the the, the full scale of the destruction, the death is not yet clear. you mentioned search and rescue efforts, of course that have those have to be prioritized but empower. lead was also making sure that those who have survived the 5th grade are taken care of. what are the most urgent needs right now, and how are you assisting with those?
11:08 pm
that's exactly right. so the american red crescent on the ground are assisting and supporting the government with the the dignified burial and those that have lost their lives. but as you say, also tree arching and identifying the worst injuries because of the costs of the health system is stretched at this point in time with so many injuries from severe head injuries to broken bones. the providing 1st aid support where they come outside and as a temporary 10 to the arrangements, but also making sure that those that need medical attention and care are also being taken to the, to the health facilities where they all said to, to do so. we're also making sure that taking care of those that have survived is a priority. that's everything from both day to psycho social support to assist with the trauma that they should not be underestimated in an event like this, but also providing safe and clean water food on the some basic shelves that to protect people from the elements. as you've said, as hold the next 24 to 48 hours,
11:09 pm
going to be critical, of course, in terms of saving lives. but the response i imagine and you know, when you recall the earthquake earlier this year in took it and in syria, the response is going to take a long time. we know that we know that search and rescue window is usually the 1st will be just or an event like that. and that's where all results is all now. uh no really being prioritized so many resources are being prioritized. but of course then we need to make sure we take care of those that have survived and we support them into a longer term recovery. but for sure this is not the only days, weeks or months, but this is a response that will continue for years. the ones trying on an open and market and so don has killed these 46 people. that is the highest death told in a single strikes and slashing began. 4 months ago, activism, medical workers, post video and social media of what happened to the neighborhood of the capital

11:37 pm
have the sites, we have historical research. but if we really want to understand the human experience of this place, how those men and women and children who were the part of here suffered how the system of the human eyes ations works. we need to listen to the words of people who went through this place. they were more nice and they went on products a month, c, h in place, and they will, it may and ca, to people is type, uniform, woking about aimlessly. we would take him to a bushel and we were stripped natured. we have to sit there is all these man a very of roughly shape highest. and then we would taken to be tough to was a number. so that will say it's, we have lost identity. we will still crying for

11:39 pm
unity every single day. the words from the malice of people who went. so all circles of hell has a much more profound. i would say impact than anything or other historians can convey in our words, of course, with the passage of time this struggle to preserve the memory of the most horrifying of genocide in europe and argues, you'll be world history. it becomes more and more important adults. hitler, so the seats for the agendas donate from the moment he rose to power in the early 19 thirty's, germany's defeat one resulted in berlin having to pay large reparations and give up significant territory, leaving germans angry and humiliated. they were looking for someone to blame and hit her, offered them escape goats, europe's jewish population. over the course of the 2nd world war,
11:40 pm
nazi germany and it's collaborators systematically murdered some 6000000 jews. to make way for with hands are considered a superior area and race a decades later, degeneration of those who did survive to hold the cost is slowly disappearing. and with it or the memories with every holocaust survivor who passes away another set of memories, dice with the 1st person, accounts of the horrors of nazi as and become increasingly rare. and the risk of history being revised or rewritten grows larger, distortion or revision or denial has been with us. of course, there is a risk that, that, that the, the farther we are from historical events, that the memory of this events is more fragile. and there may be less people who can be the i with this is that are incredibly important when we try to prove that
11:41 pm
something happened. there are still survivors among us, but there are various to of them. their voice becomes more and more faint. they are on a board to confront, let's say, a distortion denial the way they did it 10 or 20 years ago. and mind you each and every country, let's say, impacted by the holocaust, twice to rewrite the history of the holocaust in order to make it useful to its own national or state. the reasons i sometimes it's very cynical sometimes it's nelson echo, but we see these attempts on the boeing most in countries all for eastern and central europe. we're up to the holocaust physically habit. really central question is cuz why that historical revisionism is on the rise by we're seeing across europe. and the reason for that is, in my opinion, directly linked to the rise in far right. politics across the continent. the far right fundamentally understands how to use history. how to manipulate it,
11:42 pm
and it's actually really simple and the way history really most people in a few understand how to connect with them about an issue that, that people are really emotional about. even today. you can get voters coming to pulse, to, to support you. one example hungry, which was deeply complicit in the holocaust of the twins carrying $430000.00 hungry and jews to their desktop. our seats in the spring and summer of 1944, these jews were collected to work put on the twins, not by the germans. they were put on the twins by hungry and official civil war, military police. so in a hungry what happens now is a very sustained, a very energetic attempt to shift the blame entirely on the germans. so they don't deny that's hungry and juice thomas have been murdered. it's simply not us
11:43 pm
the kind of revision is and the petri will take spin that puts nations on the right side of history is nowhere more evident than in potent like so many nancy occupied countries under hitler's rule. poland was divided some paws chris, their lives to help save dues, but many others helped in nancy's sum as collaborators, some as perpetrators. it's an ugly truth that has been lowered t suppressed in poland since the end of the 2nd world war. first under 50 years of communist occupation then recently by the rightly moving just as party, which is government the country for the past 8 years, you must all homeless. we're writing all the history of the holocaust, perhaps is the most conspicuous the most raising. of all i can say made or done in the central eastern europe. and it's
11:44 pm
a whole sports related to the fact that hollow coast in its mass website and fixing occurred in policy as well. they won't, you know, beam is just get to this broad near to the variable. so you on that so, so it will be going to show the post gives you mean on us? oh, yeah. and so for national, she's asking him what the, the current very nationalistic authorities in poland do, is something called a distortion of the holocaust distortion or recognizes that, you know, there was a jewish catastrophe. however, our people, they say had nothing to do with it. basically we, they say polar society on us twice to rescue the jews. and this unfortunately is a deep profound policy. and a good example of that is the top net put around. so the you had wagner and my skirt took place in 1941 and a polish town where basically the,
11:45 pm
the non jewish population of this town turned onto their jewish neighbors and murdered them in massive mass numbers. and we know that germans were in he is not name at the time, but that the killings were lead, almost as prompt as you can, sam, prompted by the polish population. so the, the overarching narrative that the lawn, just as a party has on the holocaust is one that tries to paint all polish citizens as being heroes during that time. and we simply, we, we know that's not true. so they love both sides that were wonderful fourish people who who that is so that instead of having jewish people to, to escape to, to the hidden, etc, etc. but there was some people, even amongst the folders people who were on disability and they were produced
11:46 pm
that the jews were being that. so we had to escape from every, every force everywhere around us. there was the agent that you're going to be handed over to the biggest upland and exterminate the in a safe decade to have 2 or 2 component was under soviet rule. survivor accounts like those from many been or were kept in what school or school the meanest freezer, with the full communism in the 19 ninety's space for historical debate and potent opened up will be briefly. historians could suddenly write accounts of the past to good and bad as it had happened. in 1998, poland even set up the institute of national remembrance, or in a body designed to reckon with the countries passed on their communist and nancy occupation. over the years ip and has grown into
11:47 pm
a powerful force that shapes national historical discourse. it's numerous entities include poland, largest archive, the biggest publisher of historical text, and even a prosecutor's office. in the early 2, thousands, one of the ip 1st tasks was to investigate the walk in a massacre of july 1941 to shed light on the dark chapter components history. however, since then, the institute commission has changed today under the law and justice governments ip and seems less interested and investigating the cost and more likely to promote a version of history that they're running party to prove. in many ways the, the changes that we've seen over the last couple decades in institute mirror. the changes we've seen in, in published society as a whole and the swing to the right wing. if you want to understand how this to
11:48 pm
national remembrance works and the kind of a narrative set or promoted, it's really key to understand that it's leadership is appointed by parliament. and that directly links it to the government that is in power. at the time, the institutes budget has doubled under the law and justice party, which i think shows the importance that the government has put in the role this. this institute should have over history the founded in 2001 the new and just this party noon under its pony acronym piece, his girlfriend, opponents on and off the post 2 decades and as long relied on its nation and next agenda to garner supports. it seems regaining power in 2015. the politics of memory have become a policy priority for peace relying on states affiliated institutions, like my opinion, to push narratives don't want much. potent puns. probably darky storage site is
11:49 pm
stock. com. zip or not subsidence. east you to, to not use of on disposal southern system move as most of your budget jobs. when it comes to pieces still, the institute with lillian lakes and in 2018, the government introduced the so called apn or holocaust build criminalized research in, in writing about publish complexity in nazi crimes to has been used to target historians like young grabowski. they want the, basically to model historians, educators a, they wanted to once again to protect their own and miss of innocence, national innocence. and now the law has been in part to appeal. so it's no longer criminal and the provisions. but there are civil provisions which go with it, and i would say that in a way they actually want because a lot does not have to be vigorous,
11:50 pm
the apply the in order to freeze the debate. and this must be a palpable and the desire to, if not fear, is already felt throughout poland in let's say i've had to make circle one of the biggest the impacts thought it had was the impact on educators across poland. the kind of high school teachers and holocaust educators that i've spoken to didn't really site that as a key moment when they had to really start questioning themselves and being scared about what, what kind of topics could be discussed in school. the ibm spokesperson agreed to an interview. i wanted to ask him about the so called holocaust law and the allegations at the institute place the crucial charts in the law and justice parties to politicize opponents tasks. however, that interview didn't happen once the ip and allowed us to fill in their archives, the interview cancelled at the very last minute. and they said nobody else was
11:51 pm
available to speak to us. they offered a written statement instead, despite numerous follow ups, that statement never came. however, it's not just the ip in poland or in fact the holocaust that are part of the politicized narrative, politicians and governments having sold the frame, the pounds in a way that suits their political agendas and the present turkey. still the nice that the armenian genocide in the 19 ten's ever took place. the serbian government to this day tries to twist the facts of its ethnic, cleansing of muslims in kosovo and bosnia. in the 1990s, in china, the decade long and phone going incarceration of weak yours has been raised from public consciousness. the list goes on and on. until now, we're talking about the countries of the democratic code and the european union, poland hungary. however, if we move to china or to turkey,
11:52 pm
we are dealing here with till, till each area and also retire in systems worried. how about the people being killed for there are points of view for their opinions. second, do you have government which exert the, especially in the case of china and not a whole, but nearly a whole control over information? what people can think, what people can express. so we are with this total control failing into an uncharted territory. how social, mental social remember, will be shaped. and there are other examples, as well as the lack of reckoning that's happened in russia with its own history of soviet repression is a direct symptom of the work we see happening in ukraine. the, the motto for the whole of cost is never, never forget, and tomorrow, in rough shot for decades has been never remember. i think we're,
11:53 pm
we're really living through a time where there's an increasing focus by politicians on history, especially by politicians who understand how, how it motivates people and how it moves people the history of atrocities leak the who caused through some basic questions about crimes against humanity in the here and now how will future generations when they look back at the ethnic cleansing. so we're genocide on folding today due to her own complicity. those of us who did not do enough to prevent mass crimes despite living in a much more connected, much more informed world. i am sure that there will be new memorials in 30 years and for 2 years 50 years. that will come memorize the many different places where today people are the humanized that where genocide unfold or are
11:54 pm
happening. and of course, when we, when we talk about the story of our speech here, people concentrate them to groups of people on the perpetrators and the victims. but we need to remember that there is a 3rd group and these are bystanders. and of course, we can ask questions about the bystanders a few years ago. but we need to remember that we are talking about ourselves because we are all bystanders of evil in our towns in our countries in the world. and this is why we believe that the story of alex, which would also be a mirror in which we look at our selves, and we look at our moral responsibility as bystanders. that's why i'm sure it's today is as much about commemorating the victims of the past as it is a warning sign for future generations. the genocide or product of us humans, the end result of the seat full ideologies that we as people create,
11:55 pm
tolerate or execute meaning is to we can always repeat itself in the words of alfred survivor prima levies. it happens, therefore it can happen again. life, this little story has some aspect. this really show how a horrible idea or gee, can be disastrous. when we escaped from the get hill, my mother was advised to take a train towards so we came to the station. my mother said to one of the officials of the station and says, what is the change or so void? she said, i tell you something. at midnight, there is a train for the gentleman offices, but it's usually half empty. when the train came,
11:56 pm
she took us personally to a compartment the full hired and king s s. officers. and they were wonderful. they said the charge would lie down and she should sleep. and one of them took off his coat. which to me was a symbol. oh, pardon the fear and to cover me was this both. this guy should should 0 in the safety of the these 4 s s when we arrived anymore. so next morning, this was prejudiced in his highest form in his lowest hold. because hen they know these 4 offices that my mother and i were jewish, they would have shown us on this for one thing, which is also important. it's to remember not to, to humanize the perpetrators, because in this way there is no link. there is no warranty if,
11:57 pm
if these were munsters, and we are good people living today and we would never be able to do that, then we feel secure, but it's false. because the story tells us that she went beans, people who are educated, can create and believe from the ideal which is difficult to human suffering. and look what, what seems shepherd needs the full was like killing the people because they're just the type of different i'm believe that's terrible. booked with house. they build fact to resolve this. never before in the history. has it ever be built factories? i wish i could say i did this was the last time, but i don't really think that to be quite honest, but hope for you for a long time. it's really be a warnings to people to be aware of, of prejudice,
11:58 pm
prejudice because it is the very careful about what you believe and what your trust the i would like to is there's this in, in the young generation judge. very carefully. what ideology. you subscribe to the must be and the, the basis of any idea or to do something that benefits you might need to know something that destroys the the, the weather brought to you by visit castle. i smell some spring bolts coming to
