waiting for the decision to see in their fate more often than not people with sense outfits to face execution meanwhile terrorism's children were not allowed to read draw pictures all saying. that be that are in hell shakhtar and use it. but i'm an excuse me nothing here has the lot of bright the case and also direct will with us in the face mason and i as his men like to say the jews seen a requiem for themselves thanks. this is how the secret music lessons were held in terrorism. these drawings belong to martyrs friend of ace of a 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. thank god they began this is where we

washed thirty there was no bathroom just a toggle and water 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. they are five zero five. double that's what my transport numbers use. you dish me else like these were another great tragedy we paid for them in a breath terry yes we gave breath for them we put things under the mattress if we needed to sniff them out there was no irony that the top bunk was the best place to sleep most of the bucks for 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 one about

turned over security to people slept in the space and terrorising but isn't a s. ten people shared the same space it in auschwitz. says terrorism was a resort compared to auschwitz now to her brother and parents and her friend helga was sent to auschwitz in the autumn of nine hundred forty four. while czech polish jewish gypsy children were being murdered in gas chambers german children little girl guides going to school learning to can't sing the songs they sang were not child laughter. szilvia money a mother this 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 we want to be moscow or soon as we can or let the bolsheviks feel all strength and little wilder oses pave the way of hitler's men

getting for rochelle flung the. but by late one nine hundred forty four hardly anyone saying this something. that is military chiefs had just won a couple outings to the red on the instant offensive on the frontline from the cop a few mountains 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 laughs the hardest of its history men were executed or sent 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. one he was made in your world will suck you with and your vote for a well i told you i think that you could you have occasion to meet on a prisoner who said. 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 urgency and look to the black smoke billowing from the criminal rims chimneys inhaled the noisy aging sweet odor and waited for his term yanks on fifth corps to 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 bungalow me. he had been a teacher before. poland about how we died he said and went to

the guest chamber you know and here. 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 was sent to german children german women it was sold weeks made from the hair of the dead. a abidjan. from my block i could see the cam band playing on the claude cone things when the crematorium and the hassle. with their system in the service staff and occasionally the officers' wives in attendance. and they enjoyed the performance knowing full well that people were being burned in a criminal oriented. 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 at that. tells

me she's done it on purpose in order to attract more attention over here you know people read all the books and put them aside but they leaf through this book again and again the ground. penus if new the story's characters personally edward golinski was polish and millions in the town was a jewish woman a 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 it would a german uniform his happiness with malia lost in just twelve days when they were then called. edward was hanged in big. red he also wanted to hang. him but she didn't let them for my ashes. she cut her

veins with a piece of irony that happened to be at hand. you know what. when an s.s. man was about a good the noose around her neck she hit 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. no upon their part will they say they're ok you service has always had a razor in your hands you might have taken him by the hair and cut his throat. to that i respond yes i might have on a bus would have been the result. moira you know they would have killed all my

family and of all the camps people. these people survived the concentration camps but they still don't understand how they made it through. the course of us says teachers helped a lot educating youngsters in secret to try and retain their dignity. and not as friends helped her by composing songs and making jokes but the humor was dark like this song written by children and terrorism. as a sit in in a hellhole called terrorising vary with three quarters of bread and 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 not to go to a restaurant childers a lot of food she has still not yet overcome her fear of hunger. but she certainly still has a sweet tooth. abbie please leave me that one these are nice and i think i know for sure they are take the stew and just one more day. of the fifteen families and children who went from terrorising unknown to death camps only ninety eight survived to see liberation. the price of freedom from the most fascist regime in history.

those who fought to win the war stand proud. against the tide of history being rewritten. sixty six years of victory on our team. would be soon which bryson if you move about someone from phones to impressions. who for instance on t.v. don't come. 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 of visions 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 as found in the open them a trick you see on inception a great. book i don't know why i know how you got the gist of it and said world war two with a few tanks it had bought from france in your best country was modernizing its weaponry at the time and always there. 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 silvino most monsters of tanks with his numbers and capability as well well

that of any of the tanks that had appeared in the balkans before the serbs were simply stones to solve its tanks. in october one thousand forty four red army troops and isaf resistance fighters liberated belgrade street after street blocked off to block the town at times to freedom. these veterans like strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for their health but they enjoy it because it makes them feel young 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 nine hundred forty one namely the queen natalie street vision of change the name they should've left. 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 some of them of a 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 over eight thousand russians died in serbia you could go all the time i'll tell you was a tank true is where there is in a very large pit dug kiddish when this monument and 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 oh. there was a band playing at the front of the convoy for music of. polling.

places. of almost. veterans say today's goal great 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 some of the hitler's orders the polish capital was to be razed to the ground those instructions were carried out with cruel determination. today it's hard to imagine but 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. over time of war so is deserted i. the germans are driving theobald over the left

bank of the river once again the city has been systematically destroyed street after street and it show us after house has been our buildings are being blown up and burned it would plainly all the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made infantry's of all 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 nazi arts experts prepared a special register just for this purpose. is only cruel if the entire all the castle was in ruins that's the gist you nineteen forty five zero three and then some small structural elements were left over it and that. also separation was different from other cities in january nine hundred forty five

the red army trophy occupy as a house and ends in 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 or trees the first refugees began returning to what was left of their capital poland suffered much more than any other european country it was also on cuba i'd longer than others here 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 war i've not brother a fair measure is nobody wants to discuss him long enough not to mimic agreement for instance when chicken slovakia's was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to be for the war caught another oldster. could be the onslaught when

a national socialist germany not swallowed up austria or money up the. amounts the thirteen thousand nine hundred thirty eight hitler triumphantly entered vienna but the un truce was not as civilised 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 germans surrendered in vienna the city of mozart and stress was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere distillate traces of the anxious welcomes 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 was lost hours. of the time lost 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 aware in arm bands with the red cross on them reliving. when viewed by him to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined too. 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 shelton gradually pulling back westwood's as they continued fighting with the resistance germany and 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 on earth they were mocked as hospital trains but in fact they were not that are not the germans had weapons with them. so they were not going to surrender even though they won't was over. they wanted to get to the american set 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 given of the inscription says we will stay committed they signify that resistance fighters died here. cemetery it's here the red army soldiers who died liberating prague

a better it. will be now. i see you later disagree. well. i first came here a long time ago a young nurse is buried here i don't even know if your relatives know that she lies here i simply put a flower how great and the if she was about twenty two years old think. such a long way from. which 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 them the remnants of the nazi war machine continue to sell to soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived still get together. it's interesting to see your. former check and saw that some just me tell sometimes

to celebrate public holidays well simply to. not going to check. yourself from a trolling police journey. where you know these men out there let me give you the medal of czechoslovakia's legionnaires as a keepsake which. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them you know. neither do i you can see everyone we got one on. they show each other newspaper cuttings photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos their in their prime wearing them the attributes of. the idea well well no idea looking at two years is sheer pleasure in the years of the huge they recall the last days of the war and victory day in such painstaking detail

it's as though it was only yesterday. mr good surely will. given good food just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad here the guys are given milhouse will avoid bones there are so fresh you could squeeze them and they talk back to their original shape that's what i call a feast i thought we did we stuck to fire a german tanks. just the earth of my country and it stuck to my lips. some a tumultuous to wed that medals 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 obvious middle is for valor this one is for services to the country and 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 shots of vodka about those who died liberating cities and countries from fascism about those who couldn't hear the mighty gal singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the minutes form the tanks will see those who kissed the liberation 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. this.
