pissed off. pitch. it was a spring like many of those in europe looks cherries and nightingales. but those who fold their way across the continent liberating town after town and village after village remember it differently than one thousand gallons. to cherries and the women seem to be just a full. of people and sheep stumped by it and a russian officer came to tonight he started a syrian he said to your ally v.a.

but there was a dead man decent only before we found hugh jackman ashley in the bar the stimulus bloke commits liberates his including soviet soldiers and their rebuilt national ami's with bread and milk flowers and the woman braces. rushed to me and hugged me so hard i thought i wouldn't die i was so happy when she finally like oh just a different day everybody shot from any kind of weapon signal pistols to machine don't see fit right into the air. to welcome to liberate us millions of civilians died in concentration camps and occupied. and some soldiers had missed their victory day but those who had not lived to see the spring of nine hundred forty five women more realized and some still to this day.

the spring of nine hundred forty four still a year to go before the end of the second world war the red army has freed soviet territory from nazi occupation and is now pushing across the county asian mountains the soldiers struggle through the snow bound passes on the saffir great in bucharest past the enter prague. by the germans i'm still waiting for the liberation. of a check you was waiting for the liberating soldiers she was fifteen years old and living in tatters in it was called a town but it was actually more of a concentration camp. one of one hundred forty thousand people waiting for the decision to see in their fate more often than not people were sent to auschwitz to face execution meanwhile television children were not allowed to read draw pictures all saying. that they had our health sector.

excuse me. nothing he read the lot of bright the case and also the requiem with us in a space and the s.s. men like to say the juice in a requiem for themselves thank you. this is how the secret music lessons were held in tatters in. these drawings belong to martin's friend. she slept in the adjacent bed elgar enjoyed her sketching everything around her but keeping it hidden their images paint a vivid picture of life in terrorism. that they began this is where we washed out at that there was no bathroom just a towel and water the only cold water and even that was spotty. the young girls quarters were here they were kept separate from their parents in

the daytime the girls worked in the fields in the evening they got together in a small room to read aloud to each other in a camp like this a book was a prized possession. a r b a five o five. that was my transport number. you dish me shells like these were in other great traction with bait for them when a brittanie yes we can breath for them we put things under the mattress ace if we needed to sniff them out there was no i or in that area that don't bonk was the best place to sleep true most of the bucks for them but at least nothing felons you while you were asleep but on the level of bunk all kinds of stuff in the year whenever the want to secure two people slept in the space and terrorising but as many as ten people shared the same space it in auschwitz. says taro's in was a result compared to auschwitz. her brother and parents and her friend helga was

sent to auschwitz in the autumn of one nine hundred forty four. while czech polish jewish or gypsy children were being murdered in gas chambers german children little guys going to school learning to draw can't sing the songs they sang were not charmed last. show of pneumonia mother says a collection of songs sung by members of hitler you're going to swallow is no that it was published in nineteen thirty six one of the songs goes something like this one we want to march on moscow we want to be moscow or soon as we can or let the bolsheviks fuel all strength and let the wilder oses pave the way of hitler's men heading for russia with love. but by late one nine hundred forty four hardly anyone sang this song anymore. it was military chiefs had just won a touchdown to escape the red army launched an offensive on the frontline from the

cop ac amounting to the black sea liberating european cities. romania became the first country to be released from its not some nightmare. then soviet troops brought peace to bulgaria. conan suffered perhaps the hardest it's history men were executed all set down as slaves women aged between fifteen and twenty five percent to brothels for very modest so just older women were sent to factories or gas chambers. he was the boy. when he was nineteen years old he was nine hundred forty four as a. result i told you i think that you have you had occasion to meet the president

and. even the best guide in the world would be clueless about conditions here compared to a man who survived the ordeal for two years each day. looked at the black smoke billowing from the crime of tory i'm still needs it hailed the noisy aging sweet odor and waited for his turn. just they were read out the list of people who was supposed to go where he went to the gas chambers. there were only thirteen of us left. and the man who went to the guest chamber was the one who had occupied the bunk below me. he had been a teacher before. poland about how we died he said and went to the guest chamber. i was fitz was operated like a well oiled machine nothing was wasted trousers shoes spectacles even human teeth everything was put to use toys were sent to german children german

women it was sold weeks made from the hair of the dead. from my block i could see the cam band playing on the plod cone through tween the crematorium and they. were the s.s. men in the service staff and occasionally the officers' wives in attendance. and they enjoy to perform and knowing full well that people were being burnt in a crime a tory i'm in. some might find it all the polish publishers have produced a comic book about the history of auschwitz its aim to get the message across to those not interested in either museums or history books that. the editor tells me she has done it on purpose in order to attract more attention you know people read all the books and put them aside but they leaf through this book again and

again. the stories characters personally edward gilinsky was polish and was a jewish woman the comic is called the romeo and juliet of auschwitz she was twenty six years old names twenty one. the fact they found love at the death factory as auschwitz was known was remarkable that they could escape was incredible an s.s. officer had given edward a german uniform but his happiness with just twelve days when they were then called . edward was hanged in. the also wanted to hang. but she didn't let them. she cut her veins with a piece of irony that happened to be at hand. when an s.s. man was about to put the noose around her neck she hears him.

own story is unique he was one of the first to arrive at auschwitz as inmate number one hundred twenty one and he was lucky enough to leave the camp alive on top of that each day he had to resist an excruciating temptation he was serving as the personal barber of the camp's commander rudolf hess for years people have wanted the answer to just one question. they say are you ok you service has always had a razor in your hand you might have taken him by the head and cut his throat. to that i respond yes i might have. been the result. they would have killed all my family in the camps people. these people survived the concentration camps but they still don't understand how they made it through. says teaches helped

a lot educating youngsters in secret to try and retain their dignity. and most his friends helped by composing songs and making jokes but the humor was dark like this song written by children in terrorism. they see it in a national whole cold terrorising very with three quarters of the bread no one can win just to survive who can ask the more it stinks it's wild it's war. terrorism surviving children a vow to wear butterfly pins on their jackets and dresses for as long as they live this is because they never saw butterflies in the concentration camps instead just fleas and bed bugs and even today when martha goes to a restaurant she orders a lot of food she has still not yet overcome her fear of hunger. but she certainly still has

a sweet tooth. abby please give me that one these are nice sassy i know for sure i'll take these two and just one more day. of the fifteen thousand children who went through tara's in a gnome to death camps only ninety eight survived to see liberation. cultures that so much as i can recall right on it does appear that after the us elections the start of a brave new revolution or in evitable and destructive gridlock will anything.

belgrade in one hundred forty four it was you the salvias capital the country had already enjoyed three years of occupation yugoslav freedom fighters had been fiercely resisting the nazi regime and its collaborators from the inside. the germans often send their best divisions to overpower the freedom fighters who were under the command of marshall tito who fought back bitterly despite a lack of weapons or the most basic military technology. today the story of the resistance movement struggle is found in the open and military museum in central about great. book i don't know why i know how you just elvia entered world war two with a few tanks it had bought from france when us country was modernizing its weaponry at the time. but locals could see and hear telltale

signs of approaching soviet tanks girl first they had a deafening noise then they saw smoke and dust rising above the horizon and finally they saw the enormous monsters of tanks with his numbers and capabilities well above any of the tanks that had appeared in the balkans before the serbs were simply stunned by the soviet tanks. in october one thousand forty four red army troops and resistance fighters to the right to belgrade street after street block after block. of time to freedom. these veterans strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for their health that they enjoy it because it makes them feel through the streets where they used to fight the germans. see what they've done to our popular front street where there was a victorious uprising in one thousand nine hundred. eight change the name.

right they have no business changing names history shouldn't be changed. there are quite a few streets of belgrade bearing two names it so happens that one of the streets is officially known as. the local people still read the street to avoid confusion the authorities decided to put up signs bearing both names. i hear a total of eight thousand russian. troops were buried in a very large pit dug here between this monument this place that was two days after the liberation of belgrade. twenty four tanks went through the streets. of a soviet tanks. there was

a band playing at the front of the. veterans say today's belgrade is very different from the city of nine hundred forty four. like many other european cities but no other city in eastern europe suffered. the polish capital to be razed to the ground those instructions were carried out with determination. today it's hard to imagine that here where these beautiful streets restored castles now stand they used to be just

broken people completely rebuilt the city stone by stone. if. you. deserted the germans are driving people thought a little out of the bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street in a house after house buildings are being blown up and burned all plainly all the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made infantry's of old buildings that had survived air raids and blew them up in accordance with its clear cut chad duell they made a special point of destroying historical buildings and architectural landmarks as a matter of priority not psy-ops experts prepared a special register just for this purpose. is only cool if the entire all the castle was in ruins that's the gist you nineteen forty five can only dream of three and some small structural elements were left open and that.

also separation was different from other cities in january nine hundred forty five the red army drove the occupiers out and entered warsaw but unlike elsewhere the local population didn't line the streets to welcome soviet soldiers the polish capital was a deserted city only a day after the german retreat the first refugees began returning to what was left of their capital poland suffered much more than any other european country it was also a key part longer than others in the second world war started when the nazis attacked on september the first nine hundred thirty nine but many historians onto the war began much. to shift the way of not prosperous fairly sure is nobody wants to discuss such

a morning about the many could greenman for instance when it was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war caught. another alternative could be the. national socialist germany swallowed up austria. almost the thirteenth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight hitler triumphantly entered vienna but the un truce was not a civilized action it was a powerful military absorption. the war came to an end for many european towns in the spring of one thousand nine hundred five on april the thirteenth the german surrendered in vienna the city of mozart and strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere destroy the traces of the anschluss welcomed the soviet liberating troops and dumped waltz's in the town squares. the fighting continued in

neighboring czechoslovakia all made a face people in prague staged an uprising they flew the national flag from windows and built barricades. radio prog called on the city's residents to stand up to the hardships of the wars last hours. of that time slot a fourth of a was a seventeen year old miss. eastman said we were targeted even when we went out to pick up the wounded for example although we were wearing armbands with the red cross on them three living. when the day you went to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined too that there were many dead and wounded people that we had to. play with the final casualties of the wars last days german troops under the command of the experienced

field marshal general shona were gradually pulling back westwards as they continued fighting with the resistance chynna knew that the red army was a pro. and he had no desire to surrender to soviet troops. there were a german troops in want to pete had to be three hospital trains. they were right here. they were mocked as hospital trains but in fact they were not but are now the germans had weapons with them and. they were not going to surrender even though the war was over. they wanted to get to the americans at any cost they were scared of fresh troops. soviet troops entered prague or made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this hand raised to given us the inscription says we will stay committed they signify

the resistance fighters died here. cemetery it's here the dread army soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body now. i see you've laid flowers so that is great. i first came here a long time ago a young nurses baritone here i don't even know your relatives not that she lives here i simply put a flower on her grave and leave she was about twenty two years old i think. such a long way from. many of those who live here live just long enough to hear the word victory on their ranks and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind after the blows and the remnants of the nazi war machine continue to

slaughter soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived. still get together. it's so nice to see your. form of check and. sometimes. will simply to. help yourself. please journey. where you know these men are through a litany give you the medal of czechoslovakia. as a keepsake. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them you know. neither do i you can see i've only got one. they show each other newspaper cuttings children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos their in their prime wearing them. well

well looking at pleasure. they recall. victory day in such painstaking detail. today. we were given good food just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad here the guys are given milk. bones there are so fresh you can squeeze them and they pop back to their original shape that's what i call a feast. but we stuck to fire a german tanks. just earth of my country and it stuck to my lips. some. of. their always happy to. each of them. the veterans insists that the young. this medal

is for valor this one is for services to the country this one is for brotherhood and unity. why do you. people's army. veterans tell young people about the stories of those who missed their victorious shot of vodka about those who died liberating cities and countries from fascism about those who couldn't hear the might in jail singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch them while it's full on the tanks or see those who kissed the liberating soldiers. hundreds of songs in many languages have been dedicated to these war heroes they didn't live to see the piece of their memory lives on and as it. is. our cellphones would be useless without this minerals. only

a tiny thesis is needed to make them work but every piece of coltan is extracted at a cost to human life. kick. it.
