to a man who survived the ordeal for two years each day. looked at the black smoke billowing from the crime atory him chimneys inhaled the noisy aging sweet odor and waited for his turn. just they were it 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 the hassle. with s.s. men in the service staff and occasionally the officers' wives in attendance. and the danger would be performance knowing full well that people were being burned. some might find it all the polish publishers have produced a comic book about the history of outfits its aim to get the message across to those not interested in either museums or history books at that. me movie the editor tells me she's 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 ground on the. penus if new the stories

characters personally it would golinski was polish and millions in the town 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 of the death factory as auschwitz was known was remarkable that they could escape was incredible an s.s. officer had given it would a german uniform but his happiness with malia lost a just twelve days when they were then called. a couple of you hear edwards was hanged in. if 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 has him.

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. people still read the street to avoid confusion the authorities decided to put up signs bearing both names. i hear a total eight thousand russians died in serbia. all. there is in a very large pit dug here between this monument this place. two days after the liberation of belgrade. twenty four tanks went through the streets.

there was a band playing at the front of the convoy. 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 cruel 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 best city stone by stone. do. deserted the germans are driving people out over the left bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street in a palace after house buildings are being blown up and burned all its ability plainly the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made inventories of old buildings that had survived air raids and blew them up in accordance with it's 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

not proud there are fairly sure is nobody wants to discuss with your morning about the mini could greene meant for instance when he was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war god. another alternative could be the. national socialist germany not swallowed up austria. 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 and strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere destroyed traces of the anschluss welcomed the soviet liberating troops

and dumped waltzes 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 war's last hours. of that time slot a fourth of a was a seventeen year old nervous. system and 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 you know you went to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined. and there were many dead and wounded people that we had. they were the final

casualties of the war days german troops under the command of the experienced field marshal general who gradually pulling back westwards as they continued fighting with the resistance general knew that the red army was approaching and he had no desire to surrender to soviet troops. there were 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. soviet troops entered praga made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like

this hand raised to give. the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters died. cemetery it's here the dread soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body. i see of late flowers so that is great. i first came here a long time ago a young nurse's birth here i don't even know of your relatives not that she lives here i simply put a. the grave and the she was about twenty two years old i think. such a long way from. many of those who live just long enough to hear the word victory.

and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind. the remnants of the nazi war machine continued to slaughter soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived still get together. there it's so nice to see your. former check and. sometimes to celebrate public holidays well simply to. shut. yourself in the tolly please journey. 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 every. they show each other newspaper cuttings photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these

tell about how they end each of them. the veterans insists that the young must learn about that. war is all this medal is for valor this one is for services to the country this one is for brotherhood and unity a medal awarded by the yugoslav 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 nightingale singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the lilacs form the tanks see those who kiss 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 in. this.
