monster cultivar 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 sealed their fate more often than not people with sense auschwitz to face execution meanwhile tellers and children were not allowed to read the pictures all saying. that be it our health sector and use asian. excuse me nothing here has the loss of bright but peace and also to reckon with us and they say stand. as his men like to say the jews sooner requiem for themselves thank you. 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 elder enjoyed her sketching everything around her but keeping it hidden their images paint a vivid picture of life in terrorism. thank god we began this is where we washed up that there was no bathroom just a job and water the only cold water and even that 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 a five o five. that was my transport number. i wish michels like these were in other great treasure we paid for them in the bridge early years we

gave bread for them we put things under the mattresses we needed to sniff them out there was no irony that the top bunk was the best place to sleep most of the bucks were there but at least nothing fallon's you while you were asleep but on the lower bunk all kinds of stuff and telling you whenever the one above turned over picture of two people slept in the space and terrorising but is many as ten people shared the same they said in auschwitz. moses says terrorism was a resort compared to auschwitz martha her brother and parents and her friend helga was sent to auschwitz and they were some of nine hundred forty four. while czech polish jewish gypsy children were being murdered in gas chambers german children lived their lives going to school learning to draw you can't sing the songs they sang were not charmed laughter. szilvia money a mother this is

a collection of songs sung by members of hitler you're going to the boys know that it was published in nineteen thirty six lineup one of the songs goes something like this what we want to march on moscow what we want to be moscow or soon is we can't let the bolsheviks feel all strength and let the wilder roses pave the way of hitler's men dating for russia will flood the. but by late one nine hundred forty four hardly anyone sang this song anymore. it was military chiefs had just won a touchdown seems to. have the red army launched an offensive in the frontline from the cup a few mountains to the black sea integrating european cities. romania became the first country to be released from its not saying i met. them soviet troops brought peace to bulgaria.

conan suffered the traps the hardest of its history men were executed all set down slaves women aged between fifteen and twenty five percent to profit for them out so just old women were said to factories or gas chambers. he was the what this doubt is one when he was in your old was lucky was on your night you forty four as a polish or did you call prison i told you i think that if. you had. occasion will meet on the prison if. 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. he looked at the black smoke billowing from the crime of tory chimneys it hailed the noisy aging suite and waited for his turn. just they were it out a list of people who were supposed to go where even to the gas chambers they 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 richard. poland about how we died he said and went to the guest chamber you know. 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 germany children german women who sold weeks made from the hair of the dead. from my blog i could see the cam band playing on the plot conflict when the crematorium. with their system in the service staff and occasionally the officers' wives in attendance. in danger would that performance knowing full

well that people were being burned in a criminal. 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. really 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. news if new the stories characters personally i would go into he 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 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 lasted just twelve days when they were then called. edward was hanged in. the also wanted to hang. him but she didn't let them. she cut her veins with a piece of irony that happened to be at hand. you know. when an s.s. man was about to put 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. part of our goal they say are you ok you service has as barbara you always had a razor in your hand you might have taken him by the hair and cut his throat i am to that i respond yes i might have idea but it would have been the result. moira do you know they would have killed all my family and hell for the hams people . these people survive the concentration camps but they still don't understand how they made it through. the course of a says teachers helped 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 in terrorism. and said sitting in a hellhole called terrorising vary with three quarters of brett and no one can win

with just to survive who can ask the more it stinks it's wild it's war. terrorism surviving children have vowed to wear butterfly pins on their jackets and dresses for as long as they live this is because they never sold us of lies in the concentration camps instead just fleas and bed 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. and she certainly still has a sweet tooth. that abbie please give me that's while these are nice and i think i know for sure they are take the stew and just one more day. of the fifteen thousand children who went through tara's in the known to death camps only ninety eight survived to see liberation.

culture is that so much as i was about the feeling goes i let you go from a war you have a real commitment what is happening to the war movement there are plenty of wars being fought though with far fewer protesters was the anti-war movement just really . a cluster mission. and inside a container you have a mall bomb and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of there's a huge market right now for battle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordinance. and so you got these companies and n.g.o.s that have basically sprung up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what they do is they go to these places they will hire local train the locals how to do the clearance will let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have

a vested interest in clearing their homes and they're putting themselves at risk every single day when they go out there to clear areas of. a. big. block. no grade in one 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 gems often send the best of business 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 at military bases and something about great. i don't know why i know how you got. handed world war two with a few tanks he had bought from france i mean you know this country was modernizing its weaponry at the time you. 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 of enormous monsters of tanks his numbers and capabilities well well above any of the tanks that had a p.s. in the balkans before the serbs were simply stunned by the soviet tanks. in october nineteenth forty four red army troops and isaf resistance fighters liberated belgrade street off

a street block after block until the town attacked the freedom. these veterans like strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for the 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 one hundred forty one name between natalie street station and change the name they should've left if he's touring right they have no business changing names history shouldn't be changed. for quite a few streets of belgrade bearing two names it so happens that one of the streets is officially known as sub a moon 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. all the point i'll tell you was. true is where there is in a very large pit kiddish when this monument turned this place that was two days after the liberation of belgrade. a convoy of twenty four tanks went through the streets. bearing a culvert with the body of a soviet tanks man. there was a band playing at the front of the convoy musical. form. was. told my. measure and 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 those instructions were carried out with cruise 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. trouble or so is deserted i. the germans are driving people out over the left bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street and it ourselves her house and our buildings are being blown up and burned all it would plainly and all the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made infantry's of all buildings that had survived their rapes 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 see arts experts prepared a special register just for this purpose. is an acquittal if the entire old castle was in ruins that's the just you not seeing forty five only do you agree then some small structural elements were left over and that. also separation was different from other cities in january nine hundred forty five the red army drove the occupiers out and ends of 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 on cape cod 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 war you have not probably refer to as nobody wants to discuss him warning about the munich agreement for instance when chicken slovakia's was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war crowd another old song. could be the onslaught when a national socialist germany not swallowed up austria update. 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 colorful 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 strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere distilled traces of the angelus welcomed the soviet liberating troops and dumped waltzes in the town squares. of 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 that time slot a fourth of a was a seventeen year old moses. eastman 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 directly. when do you plan to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves undefined. and there were many dead and wounded people that we had to. play with the final casualties of the war days german troops under the command of the experienced field marshal general seana 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 german troops in what c.p.s. 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. 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. so the troops entered prado made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this happened raised to given. the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters died here. the cemetery it's here that red army soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body. i see you've laid flowers so that is great and. i first came here a long time ago

a young nurse historic here i don't even know if your relatives know that she lives here there is a symbol of which have. the great and the she was about twenty two years old i think. such a long way from. which many of those who lie here live just long enough to hear the word victory ranks and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind after the exam and the remnants of the nazi war machine continued to slaughter soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived still get together. further it's so nice to see your. former check and saw that some just me time sometimes to celebrate public holidays will simply told . her to shut. yourself on the telly please journey.

where you know these men out there let me give you the medal of czechoslovakia's legionnaires as a keepsake. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them you know. neither do i you can see i've only got one oyster. 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 in a tree. hugger well well no idea looking at two years is sheer pleasure in the years of the. they recall the last days of the war and victory day in such painstaking detail it's as though it was only yesterday. we were given good food just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad but here the guys are given milk. bones they're so fresh you can squeeze them and they pop back to their original shape

that's what i call a feast. we stop. to fire a german tanks parked out to just the earth of my country and it stuck to my lips one of those. some a tumultuous to wed their medals others take pride in wearing them they're always happy to 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 jim this one is for brotherhood and unity emmet 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 mighty gals singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the line it's full on 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 plays the best memory lives on in. this.
