billowing from the crime a tory needs inhaled the noisy aging sweet odor and waited for his term. just they were read out a list of people who was 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 and 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 was sold weeks made from the hair of the dead.

a jewish woman the comic is called the romeo and juliet of auschwitz she was twenty six years old and he was twenty one. the fact they found love of the death factory as auschwitz was known was remarkable that they could escape was incredible an s.s. officer had given atwood a german uniform but his happiness with malia lasted just twelve days when they were then called. a couple of you hear edwards was hanged in big canal. he 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 had 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 to just one question. they say 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. 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. teaches helped a lot educating youngsters in secret to try and retain their dignity. and my

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 wed butterfly pins on their jackets and dresses for as long as they live this is because they never sold out of lies in the concentration camps instead just fleas and bed bugs and even today when martha goes to a restaurant she told us a lot of food she has still not yet overcome a fear of hunger. but she certainly still has a sweet tooth. abbie please give me that while police are nice and that's it i know for sure i'll take these two and just one last day at.

thousands passed to nothingness. thousands wounded. nurse her hand noone to suffer to the end. it was the first but probably not the last image areas of this weapon. commonly morning will be come. children common get on in the future. belgrade in one nine hundred forty four it was yugoslavia's 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 got lucky if you just elvia ended world war two with a few tanks it had bought from france when your best country was modernizing its weaponry at the time. the locals could see and hear telltale signs of approaching soviet tanks in the 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.

forty four. troops and the soft resistance fighters to the right to belgrade street to street. attack to freedom. these veterans like strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for their health but they enjoy it because it makes them feel through the streets where they used to fight the germans. are popular front street where there was a victorious uprising in one thousand nine hundred. know 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. 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 as city stone by stone. do. deserted the germans are driving people thought over the left bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street in a palace after house and the buildings are being blown up and burnt all its ability

plainly 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 an acquittal of the entire old castle was in ruins that's the gist you nineteen forty five can only dream of three and then 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 point longer than others in the second world war started when the nazis attacked on september the first nine hundred thirty nine but many historians on the war began much. to shift the we're not proud there are fairly sure is nobody wants to discuss your 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 god. another alternative could be the. national socialist germany swallowed up austria update. on march 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 in 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 square as. 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 the time slots a fourth of a was

a seventeen year old nervous. system and 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 you went to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined to. 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 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 pee 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 who were. soviet troops entered praga made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this hand raised to given. the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters died here. cemetery it's here the dreaded army soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body. i see you've laid flowers so that is great.

i first came here a long time ago a young nurse's beret here i don't even know if your relatives know that she lies here there 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 their ranks and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind after the lawyers and the remnants of the nazi war machine continued 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 to celebrate public holidays well simply to.

help yourself and. please join in. where you know these men are let me give you the medal of czechoslovakia. as a keepsake. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them. neither do i you can see i've only got one. they show each other newspaper cuttings photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos they're in their prime. looking at pleasure. they were days of victory day in such painstaking detail. yesterday. 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. we stopped a fire a german takes. earth of my country and it stuck to my lips. some. of. them they're 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. by the u. . 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 mighty gale

singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the line it's full on the tanks as seen 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 use it.
