it was a spring like many others a lie looks cherries and nightingales. but those unfold their way across the country liberating town after town and village after village remember it differently the nightingale sang lamp the cherries and the

women see. people in cheap stumped by names russian five to six in the two he started hastily and he said you're a life really but there were dead nandi so nearly before we found hugh jackman ashley in the garden. the bloke commits liberates his including soviet soldiers and their rebuilt national armies with. flowers and braces. rushed to me and hugged me so hard. i was so happy when she finally let go. everybody shot from any kind of weapon signal pistols to machine guns right into the air. not all romantic welcome the liberators millions of civilians caught in concentration camps and occupied. millions of soldiers had missed their victory day . lived to see the spring of my nine hundred forty five women more realized and

some still to this day. the spring of nine hundred forty four years ago before the end of the second world war the red army has freed soviet territory from nazi occupation and is now pushing across the mountains the soldiers struggle through the snow. bashed vienna and prague all still occupied by the germans i'm still waiting for the liberation of. kosovo a check you was waiting for the liberating soldiers she was fifteen years old and living in tennessee and it was called a town but it was actually more of a concentration camp because it was one of one hundred forty thousand people

waiting for the decision to seal their fate more often than not people with sense outfits to face execution meanwhile terrorism's children were not and i have to draw pictures all saying. should that be that r.l. schachter and musician. but i'm an excuse me nothing here has the loss of bright the keys and also the requiem with us and they say they stand. as his men like to say the juice in a requiem for themselves. this is how the secret music lessons were held in ted as in. these drawings belong to mother's friend of ace of a she slept in the adjacent bed elder enjoyed her sketching everything around her but keeping it hidden their images paint a vivid picture of life in terror as it. thank god we began this is where we washed at that there was no bathroom just

a towel and water only cold water and even that's was spotty. the young girls courses 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 a a r b n five five zero. that's what my transport numbers use. every shelf like these were inadequate trash and we paid for them in a brit's early yes we can breath for them we put things under the mattress case if we needed to sniff them out there was no irony that the top bunk was the best place to sleep most of the box with them but at least nothing phelan's you while you were asleep but on the lower bunk all kinds of stuff to you whenever the wanted both turned over to people slept in the space and terrorising but as many as ten people

shared the same space in auschwitz. says terrorism was a result compared to auschwitz now her brother and parents and her friend helga was sent to auschwitz and the autumn of nine hundred forty four. while czech polish jewish gypsy children were being getting gas chambers german children live normal lives turned to school learning to draw can't sing the songs they sang were not charmed last. show of pneumonia mothers is a collection of songs sung by members of hitler you're going to. know that it was published in nineteen thirty six one of the songs goes something like this one and we want to march on moscow for what we want to be mosque or soon as we can or let the bolsheviks feel all strange a little wilder oses paved the way of hitler's men killing 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 teams going to the red army launched an offensive on the frontline from the cup a few mountains to the black sea liberating european cities. romania became the first country to release from its not seeing nightmare. then somebody troops brought peace to bulgaria. conan suffer tyrants the hardest did it history men were executed or sent down the slaves women aged between fifteen and twenty five percent to brothels for very mouth soldiers older women were said to factories or gas chambers. he was the bored this is one when he was he. was on your night before you for

a. reason i told you i think that if. you had occasion for me to the prison itself . that 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 tell you some regions he looked at the black smoke billowing from the crime of tory and chimneys it hailed the nords gazing suite i woulda and waited for his turn. just going to just they were it out a list of people who was supposed to know 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 gun below me and he had been a teacher before. till poland about how we died he said and went to the guest chamber the good and the. auschwitz was operated like

a well oiled machine nothing was wasted trousers shoes spectacles even human teeth everything was good to use toys was sent to germany children german women 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. with their system in the service staff in occasionally the officers' wives in attendance. in the main ga performance knowing full well that people were being burnt in a crime a tory a myth. some might find it odd that 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 added that. the editor

tells me she has done it on purpose in order to attract more attention here you know people read all the books and put them aside but they leaf through this book again and again on the. penus if knew the stories characters personally i would gilinsky 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 and he was twenty one. the fact they found love with the death fracturing 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 lasted just twelve days when they were then called. edwards was hanged in birkenau. he also wanted to hang in. there but she didn't let them. she cut her

veins with a piece of irony that happened to be at hand here did. you know what. when an s.s. man was about to put the noose around her neck she hears him. and josefa own story is unique he was one of the first to arrive at auschwitz as in making 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 commander rudolf hess for years people have wanted the answer to just one question. more upon their part when they say they're ok you service her says barbara you've always had a razor in your hand you might have taken him by the hair and cut his throat. to that i respond yes i might have. but it would have been the result. moira you know they would have killed all my family and hell for the hems people.

these people survived the concentration camps and they still don't understand how they made it through. not a quarter versus teaches helps a lot educating youngsters in secret to try and retain their dignity. and most his friends helped her by composing songs and making jokes but the humor was dark like this song written by children and terrorism. and said it in a in a hellhole called terrorising vary with three quarters of brett no one can win with just to survive who can ask the law it stings its wild its war. on terrorism in surviving children have vowed to wear butterfly pins on their jackets and dresses for as long as they live this is because they never saw flies 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. and she certainly still has a sweet tooth. that abby please give me that's one reason i think i know for sure i'll take these two and just one more day. of the fifteen thousand children who went through terrace in the norms of death camps only ninety eight survived to see liberation. question is that so much about the taxpayers' money materialization escaping to a particular area the english language continues to flourish is it threaten other languages with one in three people speaking english does this promote question.

video on demand parties mind bold colors and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the calm. in belgrade and nine hundred forty four it was yugoslavia's capital the country had already enjoyed three years of occupation you were slow 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 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 at military bases in central great. book i don't know why no how do you just l.v.

entered world war two with the fuel tanks it was from france and you know this country was more noisy it's weaponry at the time. the 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 appears in the balkans before the serbs were simply stunned by the soviet tanks. nine hundred forty four read on the troops suffer systems fighters liberated belgrade street after street block after block town attack to free. these veterans like strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for their 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 in its history the right 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 beautiful but local people still call it red on the street to avoid confusion the authorities decided to put up signs bearing both names. i hear it's all old date thousand russians died in serbia. all the time i'll tell you was. tank crews where there was in a very large pit dug here between this monument and what this place that was two

days after the liberation of belgrade. a convoy of twenty four tanks went through the streets. bearing a coffin with the body of a soviet tanks man. there was a band playing at the front of the convoy. poll. of. poll 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 just the polish

capital was to be razed to the ground those instructions were carried out determination. today it's hard to imagine that here where these beautiful streets squares and restored castles now stand they used to be just broken rocks people completely rebuilt their city stone by stone. if out of trouble or so ease deserted i. the germans are driving people out of the left bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street in a palace after house and i buildings are being blown up and burnt all its ability plainly all the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made inventories of old buildings that had survived their rates and blew them up in accordance with its clear cut chad tool they made a special point of destroying historical buildings and architectural landmarks as

a matter of priority nazi arts experts prepared a special register just for this purpose. there's an acquittal if the entire all the castle was in ruins that's the gist you know nineteen forty five zero three and then some small structural elements were left over and that. also say liberation was different from other cities in january nine hundred forty five the red army drove the occupiers out and enter 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 here the second world war started when the nazis attacked

on september the first nineteen thirty nine but many historians onto the war began much. to shift i've not brother effect or is nobody wants to discuss your morning about the many could dream and for instance when slovakia's was dismembered like might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war crowd another old song. could be the un slows when a national socialist germany not swallowed up austria update. on march the thirteenth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight hitler triumphantly and said 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 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 destroyed traces of the anschluss welcomes the 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 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 aware enough armbands with the red cross on them three ready. when were you planning to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined to. there were many dead and wounded

people that we had. they were the final casualties of the war's last days german troops under the command of the experienced field marshal general sherman 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. and 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 notes that are the germans had weapons with them. 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 russian troops. soviet troops entered praga made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this hammock raised to given of the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters died here. cemetery it's here the red army soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body hello. i see you've laid flowers on this green. well. i first came here a long time ago a young nurses girl out here i don't even know if her relatives know that she lies here she was simple it was a flower in her grave and the she was about twenty two years old think. such

a long way from. many of those who lie 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 us and the remnants of the nazi war machine continued to small to soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived still get together. there's a certain mr senor. from a check in a soviet song just me time sometimes to celebrate public holidays well simply to talk. to chad myers a coke yourself on the telly please journey. to. where you know these men are through let me give you the medal of czechoslovakia's legionnaires as a keepsake which of course. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them you know.

leaves or do what you can see i've only got one on. the show each other newspaper cousins photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos their in their prime wearing them in a tree. hugger well well not here looking at here is a sheer pleasure with your mother you. may recall the last days of the war and victory day in such painstaking detail it's as though it was only yesterday. not so good surely you will. given good food just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad but here the guys are given milk. they're so fresh you can squeeze them and they pop back to their original shape that's what i call a feast a thought of it is what we stuck to fire a german tanks. just the earth of my country and it stuck to my lips one of

the. summer to notice to wed their medals others take pride in hiring them they're always happy to tell about how they each of the. veterans insists that the young must learn about that. war is obvious middle 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 victoria short and forgot 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 minutes for on 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 piece of their memory lives on in music.
