but they want to keep it up and even when you have a fairly conventional conservative republicans are saying look we need to reform the medicare system quite dramatically we need to pare back then they receive a tremendous amount of blowback because simply put the number of elderly voters is an incredibly large and also americans being relatively affluent are very risk averse and so when you have any candidate who is advancing what is taken to be a risky proposition including dramatically paring back the size and scope of the federal government something that i think both tim and i would indorse it's going to frighten people and so that's why there's a powerful tendency towards more conventional less daring political candidates candidates who are going to focus on what i think a lot of us would refer to as fake issues and fake controversies rather than dealing with some of these core propositions because again you know many people come to depend on these institutions and they have it all right every hard time imagining life without these institutions and we will i don't think you're going to see that i want to thank you guys for our way and getting a little bit of imagination of what could be and that is going to do it for our

a. present i told you i think that because you have occasion to meet on the presence of god. even the best guy in the world would be clueless about conditions here compared to a man who survived the ordeal for two years each day tell you some urgency and look to the black smoke billowing from the crime of tory m chimneys it hailed the nords gazing sweet odor and waited for his term yaks on fifth corps to just they read out a list of people who was opposed to 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. till poland about how we died he said and went to the guest chamber. i was fitz was operated like

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 leave through this book again and again the ground. penus if new the story's characters personally it would go into he was polish and millions ima town was a jewish woman a comic is called the romeo and juliet of outfits 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 edward a german uniform his happiness with molly lasted just twelve days when they were then called. edward was hanged in bacon out on my prayer the also wanted to hang in. there but she didn't let them for my action. she cut her veins with a piece of irony that happened to be

a hand if you're good. you know what. when an s.s. man was about to get 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. more upon her part will they say they're ok you service her says daughter you always had a razor in your hands you might have taken him by the hair and cut his throat i am to that i respond yes i might have an idea but what has been the result. moira do you know they would have killed all my family in and out of all the camps

people. these people survive the concentration camps but they still don't understand how they made it through. to cultivar says teaches helps a lot educating youngsters in secret to try to retain their dignity. and not as friends helps or by composing songs and making jokes but the humor was dark like this song written by children in terrorism. say sitting in a hellhole called terrorising very with three quarters of bread and no one can win with just to survive who can ask for 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 dead bugs and even today we're not a 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. avick please leave me that one these are nice and i think i know for sure i'll take these two and just one more day. of the fifteen families and children who went through tara's in the norm to death camps only ninety eight survived to see liberation. touches that so much about the taxpayers' money materialization escape into the particular area of the english language continues to flourish as it threaten other languages with one in three people speaking english does this promote question.

see video on demand policies mindful of costs and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the column. shifts the first first speech to. the. belgrade in one nine hundred forty four it was yugoslavia's capital the country had already enjoyed three years of occupation. of 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 marshal tito and fullback busily 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 news here in central great. book i don't know we were. just selfish and as world war two with a few tanks it had thought from france and us country was modernizing its weaponry at the time. 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 sold enormous monsters of tanks his numbers and capabilities were well above any of the tanks that had appeared in the balkans before the serbs were simply stunned by the soviet tanks. nine hundred forty four troops and the slough resistance fighters liberated belgrade street off

a street block off to block the town for. these veterans like strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for the health but they enjoy it because it makes them feel as they walk through the streets where they used to fight the germans. radio on and see what they've done to our popular front street where there was a victorious uprising in one hundred forty one named queen natalie street they should have changed the name they should've left it. 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 southern buena vote but local people still call it red army street to avoid confusion the authorities decided to put up signs bearing both names. i hear

a total of eight thousand russians died in serbia you could have all the. tell you was. true is where there is an a very large pit dug here between this monument and this place that was two days after the liberation of belgrade. a convoy of twenty four tanks went through the streets tanks bearing a coffin with a body of a soviet tanks man. there was a band playing at the front of the convoy. comes. form. was. told most. veterans say today's belgrade is very different from the city of nine hundred forty

four. after the war the serbian capital was rebuilt like many other european cities but no other city in eastern europe suffered as much as. it was the polish capital was to be razed to the ground by those instructions were carried out with determination. today it's hard to imagine that here where these beautiful streets swears and restored castles now stand they used to be just broken rocks people completely rebuilt the city stone by stone. over the front of warsaw is deserted now you. the germans are driving people know little of the bank of the river once again the city has been systematically destroyed street after street and it house after house and the buildings are being blown up and burned 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 land knox as a matter of priority not psy-ops experts prepared a special register just for this purpose. there's a little if he leans higher all castle was in ruins that's just you nineteen forty five zero three and then some small structural elements were left open and that. also is liberation 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 occupied longer than others in the second world war started when the nazis attacked on september the first nineteen thirty nine but many historians on the war began much. to shift i've not protheroe structures nobody wants to discuss him when you're off my dominik agreement for instance when it was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war another olds are. could be the onslaught went national socialist germany not swallowed up austria if. 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 sounds in the spring of one nine hundred forty five on april the thirteenth the germans surrendered in vienna the city of mozart and strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere distillate traces of the anxious welcome to soviet liberating troops and dumped waltzes in the town squares. the fighting continued in neighboring czechoslovakia on may the fifth 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 said we were targeted even when we went

out to pick up the wounded for example although we were aware enough armbands with a red cross on them three letting. when will you plan to connect some that soon for the wounded we found ourselves on to five. there were many dead and wounded people that we have a feeling. they were the final casualties of the war was last days german troops under the command of the experienced field marshal general sherman were gradually pulling back westwood's 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 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 a to any cost they were scared of fresh troops. soviet troops entered prado made the lines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this hand raised to given of the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters dug. cemetery it's here the bread the soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body. i see you've laid flowers is green. well. i first came here a long time ago

a young girl right here i don't even know her relatives know that she lives here if she was something that was a flower in her grave and leaf she was about twenty two years old i think. such a long way from home. with many of those who lie here live just long enough to hear the word victory possum on their ranks and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind after the exam the remnants of the nazi war machine continue to small to soldiers weeks after the german surrender. and those who survived still get together. there it's interesting to see your. former chacon soviet scientists need time sometimes to celebrate public holidays well simply to talk. i'm going to shut up yourself on the telly please journey.

where you know these men know the litany give you the medal of czechoslovakia's legionnaires as a keepsake which. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them you know. the leaves or do i you can see i've only got one on. the show each other newspaper cuttings photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos their in their prime wearing them in a tree. hugger sounds well well no idea looking at you this is sheer pleasure in the years. they recall the last days of the war and victory day in such painstaking detail it's as though it was only yesterday. surely which will. given good food you just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad but here the guys are given milk as well

as white bones there so for a short while you can squeeze them and they pop back to their original shape that's what i call a feast. we stuck safira german takes. just the earth of my country and it stuck to my lips a lot of both. some a tumultuous to wed the metals others take pride in wearing them they're always happy to tell about how they had 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 emmett awarded by the yugoslav people's army. veterans tell young people about the stories of those who missed their victorious shows a fuck up about those who died liberating cities and countries from fascism about those who couldn't hear the much a gale singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the

minutes form the tanks 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 peace but that memory lives on in. my eyes. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around for sure. we've got the future covered. marvin here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.
