it was no liberation day really saved but without the rest there would be no me my mother or other prisoners. from china to europe washington is on the brink of the not the global trade war but the e.u. threatening to slap a so-called digital tax on of us tech giants donald trump looks to sanction. trade . you're watching out international for myself and the whole team here in moscow thanks for choosing us this afternoon. and stay is a significant day and one of reflection because dozens of wild dignitaries have gathered in jerusalem to commemorate the holocaust and bring attention to a rising wave of anti semitism it's time to mark the 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating auschwitz the infamous death camp by poland. my dear

family i'm writing this letter before my death i don't know exactly when me and my relatives are going to die just because we're jews i'm in a concentration camp before all of us will be shot in a shelter thursday 4 am 16942 very well to you all. i do but i am barack. the other thing i wanted to tell you was that i had several jobs in birkenau in auschwitz one of the jobs was clearing the ashes from where they bug juice through a tunnel into a small river. i worked there together with another guy who was already old he was 32 and i was 16. i didn't know what these issues were. one day when i saw it in

daylight i asked. what is the job we're doing so he told me what it was. not me. blush. and never forget it every morning i look at my hands and see well i have the number here and i see it every day at a time in the. with the russian president attending the event israel's prime minister earlier dedicated a memorial in honor of the russian city of london god now called st petersburg the city in jordan $872.00 day siege by the nazis during world war 2 hundreds of

thousands of people starved to death. tells us more about the expectations surrounding this holocaust forum. leaders from more than 45 countries are gathering here in jerusalem for israel's largest ever international conference the event however has been marred by kentucky a c.v. polish president is not yet you know instead he would not be attending often he learned that the russian president vladimir putin and other dignitaries were giving a talk and he was not this despite the fact that in the holocaust memorial one of the official organizers of the event said it had offered the president to speak at a separate event the polish prime minister in a scathing op ed accused russia of not being a liberator but rather being a perpetrator and collaborating with nazi germany now the russian foreign ministry has responded saying that this is a blatant lie the fact is that moscow in the way to both the camp of auschwitz and

hoed and which is way off for us is the israeli foreign minister agreed. i want to personally thank you for the fact that the red army free down schmidt's and helped in the victory over the nazis because my mother was one of those detained and was liberated by the red army relatives of those liberated from the camp know who freed them israeli president said that history should be left to the historians these stop reality however is that many young people today on the for many able to what happened during the 2nd ball all the holocaust or at auschwitz where some 1300000 people died some one to say to them jews i caught up with the people here in israel who are trying to change that from the ashes of the auschwitz concentration camp emerged to woods never again. through the generations is warning in a few days when it comes from members day will be commemorated around the world the tragedy of $6000000.00 jews who were tortured gassed and boone in concentration

camps will be remembered but for how much longer according to recent reports as many as 66 percent of millennial cannot identify auschwitz and almost hoffa. not even name one concentration camp some don't even know what the holocaust was these be multiple cases of people disrespecting concentration camps with the sophies something that some people named and shamed by the controversial your look aust project increasing needs falling on the younger generation to make sure the atrocities of the holocaust are not forgotten like it was going over its whose grandfather was a survivor outreach by recent studies showing the ignorance of 1000000 meals he said to point you could humans of the holocaust and what i'm trying to do this project is actually you know to inform and to better educate people about what happened in the holocaust and i'm trying to do it in a different angle trying to because we're speaking about me but i mean it's you know today you have twitter and you have instagram and you have tick tock and you have so much information flow and you have to get the attention of the young

generation humans' of the holocaust is a project that tells the stories of survivors and the children who speak about the years in camps and how they've lived with this experience off towards some young people have come up with unusual ways of remembering the relatives my grandfather was. a hero for me he was a very very big part in my life. when i was a baby i asked him before i did that he asked why why young girl like you want to do number of holocaust in your head and i thought him. i want to keep the story alive to tell my kids to tell my grandkids someday could move its wants to expand his project with more human stories so the would remember and never forget i would you for example add there is a holocaust survivor named google like there he told me that the only thing that

actually kept him going while he was in the holocaust was a sense of humor and he suggested that we will take a speech or holding a you know a boom in the shape of the you will badge the jews were forced. put on their sleeves during the holocaust and in the beginning i was assured this is exactly the picture that i want to portray you know in this exhibition that when we took the picture and when he actually you know to be able to me actually embrace and he was so happy he had this huge smile these face and you know everything connected because his message is that no matter what is happening actually in your life if you will to use your sense of humor you will find the resilience to actually you know to keep forward i'm sure when stories that people will be able to actually to relate to and my hope is that you know that those people you know when people see the exhibition they will do their own research and it will try to figure out why the holocaust happened and what are the lessons that we are all supposed to learn.

from you know from the history. of running who were dying wish only time will tell despite being a key figure out the event in jerusalem the russian president was not invited by parents last year to commemorate the mark marking the start of world war 2 and not all perished people agreed with the snub for example this man who survived auschwitz what this was all said was actually born in the concentration camp and managed to survive along with his mother we spoke with him about the camps and operation. people told us that there was no liberation they really saved but without the red army there would be no me my mother or other prisoners i would never question the merits of these soldiers have always been grateful and representatives of russia should be at the celebrations in 3 invite other leaders who had nothing to do with the liberation of the camp i think this is a big mistake fresh huge mistake. we're actually going to cross live now to teresa

because that. is felt to the wall talk of course for the felde with many performances musical performance says and in fact the whole event will be finished on the israeli national anthem you can see of course the pictures behind you carney a song that the yellow star is being played let's listen and.

i've.

a allied nations came together in order to defeat nazi germany and its collaborators their joint efforts and unity of purpose to save the world from nazi evil the red army who bravely and resolutely led the feet of the nazis on the eastern fronts and to gether with its allies freed europe from the nazi whip soviet troops liberated my dynamic auschwitz bill can now and other nasty camps. it is my honor to invite his excellency mr vladimir putin president of the russian

federation to deliver his remarks. mr president. has been your prime minister. kohli friends ladies and gentlemen. who have gathered today at this international forum the locals and emory of the holocaust victims and as i was shared responsibility that has brought us together the debt we owe was going to be an actor the future we mourn for all the victims of the net says sharif including $6000000.00 jews zone which in the to test and ghettos and concentration camps would you trust asli slaughter and punitive

expeditions as 40 percent of. us are you citizens of the former soviet union we will do so as the news of for us the holocaust has always been for us. it is a tragedy we shall never forget it but for coming to jerusalem as i read the media sent to calculate this is a huge set of the priests out of me from the officers of the red army a soon after the liberation of auschwitz maybe i have to tell you. it is just what you tell your their egos and difficult to read like least details that speak in detail how camp was organized how was this machinery for the cold blooded extermination of people was what you claim it is an almost unbearable to me and many of them a handwritten note to the soldiers and often. because of the red army on the 2nd the 30 day after the liberation of the prisoners and the least of so me we didn't

give us a chance to feel the shock you just that they felt when you could at least saw what was happening. they witnessed things and. made them feel pain among the indignation unit get a compassionate you marshall can have no one who is in charge of the medal military operation of your money to take the densely populated island nation and real area of germany tried to save as many civilians as possible and once he was informed of the atrocities that were happening and i was sure that if it leaked 4 page himself or your own from the even seen with that concentration camp of the subsequently he wrote in his memoirs that he did not have the right to loose back then yes for she . knew he did not have the right let the righteous feeling of vengeance applying to this. because that would have us if you will we go about additional like james

among the innocent people that lived in germany with much i knew the $27.00 is going on. the 75th anniversary since the liberation of auschwitz will this help you where people from different countries to be tortured experimented upon and exterminated in droves just help it took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people including more than 1000000 jews. crimes that were never treated by now it's in their carefully thought through and it was final solution to the jewish question as they called it that is their call exit one of the blackest the most shameful when you are being judged and the world history nor should we forget that this crime had accomplished. as it often surpassed that of their masters. and concentration camps. operated not just by not so but by their henchmen ron had

accomplices and many. of us are at. least liberated and in occupied territories of the soviet union that the biggest number of jews were slaughtered in ukraine you. point $4000000.00 jewish to be a solution to the well at least uranium. 282008 will remind you that if you do i like what they do you call your attention to the fact of that that is the way 95 percent of the pre-war jewish population of least. in large area $77000.00 people i saw and so forth just several 100 latvian jews managed to survive a holocaust holocaust as a deliberate extermination of people that would have to remind you that now is how to store the same things for many other nations russia and spell of russians a korean sparrow other nationalities were declared as the people and

read their land and some was supposed to be from superstitious they were in labor for. to provide them with a comfortable you will be existence whereas nations that were in the contempt either to be exterminated or to be reduced to slavery with no voice of their own with no culture historical memory or language you should do it with what i do than and in your 19 when i'm 45 or so used to these barbaric plants and was ability stewarts goes 1st and foremost by the soviet nation as was mentioned in a few manage to protect the land and water freedom to europe which we paid a terrible some prior to this law had offered before we'll see a nation we had tea sacrificed to be 27000000 people. that was the prize. of a memory of the holocaust will only become a lesson. no warning every is comprehensive and intake well if you would have to

support a mission you were going to be gradually right now just on the memory of war and its lessons and you fall victim increasingly often into short on political. interests which is absolutely inadmissible or through a duty of care any politician to political leaders and state and protect the good name of those livings and falling heroes as well as innocent little who seem to nazis and their henchmen when to do that we need to use all opportunities information of political and cultural the authority and clout of countries throughout the world views i am confident that everyone i tell in the 4 years abortionist share as you go to these concerns my man is willing to stand together with russia to protect the truth and justice. you mean. it was certainly all their responsibility to make sure that the terrible tragedy is . should never repeat themselves you have to make sure future generations i

remember going to the horrors of holocaust on concentration camps and the seizure of leningrad as prime minister netanyahu has asked what we've been arguing monumentally or the victims of the siege of leningrad we have to remember. as well as the village of having to take a look we have to be fair to a lot of you not to miss one the 1st half a trait of chauvinism of seeing a phobia and i understand my tears from start to be had when we see sari pitches attempts to condense you know for manifestations of these phenomena with the believe you know the possible fragmentation in the face of affairs and can bring about terrible consequences when we need to find the courage not just to speak about that directly but also to do everything in our power to protect that i believe and other founding members of the united nations issued of lead by example of the 5 nations. i don't come but upon where should i ask special responsibility

to preserve our civilization i mean are you going to let some of our human counterparts with disgust and as far as i understand. the actually dispositive future we suggest to be the immediate should be held of the state heads of state and government of the p 5 russia china the us and france and the u.k. had to take place in any country at any place of the worst and where you have the power to find it convenient russia is willing to engage in that any serious conversation without further ado we are willing to salvage this address to the leaders of the un security council the 5 we have many important issues at hand just recently one of the issues of libya was discussed in berlin at the initiation of chancellor merkel what will have to get larger than. the united nations resolution but there are many other issues. i believe it's going to be emblematic as we

will celebrate the 75th anniversary since the 2nd world war was well essentially stablish want of the united nations when you see my summit of nations that made the main contribution to. building in a post world world and you add quickly and in order to end fighting collective so you responses to the challenges and threats of today and it would demonstrate our recovery commented ocean 2 and also historical memory of those lefty ideals and values that our forefathers fought because side by side to vote for and inclusion and i would like to say thank you to i was really calling for the warm on a spirit world welcome here in jerusalem and wish to look the participants of the conference as well as all citizens of israel peace and all the best thank you very much. well that was the russian president vladimir putin's speech. the walled holocaust for him that's taking place

in jerusalem just now he touched upon several issues for example the idea of shared responsibility to retain historical memory and this was not just about responsibility towards the past for making sure that we tell stories the right way and the future generations can learn about these stories but also of course our responsibility in front of future generations. this was the blackest of most shameful page in the history of the walt and he wound of course that we cannot allow that hatred that led to those tragic events in the forty's to repeat themselves and that we have to put on a global front and unite against this this unfortunately comes in on the back of a wave of anti semitic attacks of course he also touched upon and this is something that numerous dignitaries on needs have talked about the invaluable contribution of the red army in liberating the most notorious nazi concentration camp that is

which is located in the south of poland krakow. and of course generally about the soviet contribution in defeating fascist nazi germany of course union suffered the greatest number of losses 27000000 died during not and that followed a very amusing performance of the string orchestra by the renowned soviet violinist and conductor to have a cough that was out will probably be returning at some point in the program. in other news opening another front in the global trade war washington is now targeting longtime allies in europe it's renewed threats to slap tariffs on the blocks to trade in response to the move to impose a digital tax on u.s. tech giants shot a difference keep reports from paris. not being is a beethoven or for me idea is give a little here get a lot there for global companies it's often

a direct line to the heart of power for generations boozy lunches were once the fashion but now it seems did still giants more interested in offering up a cup of joe as it plans to introduce a digital tax take for it seems that the big 4 that google amazon facebook and apple are trying their best to cozy up to. i don't think it's a good idea to talk about politics or policy with a glass of wine in your hand and excellent food offered by a person who has clear interests to represent and then there is a little less transparent lobby because there are members of industry associations well they have consultants working for them so you talk to people and you don't realize if they are representing the interests of google or facebook or silicon valley because the names are different these lobbyists seem to have some very deep pockets according to transparency international in 2019 google spent some 8000000 euros trying to get into brussels good graces while the lobbying budgets of the big

4 have. since 2014 so why is this new digital tax regime causing them such a headache well until recently most giants pay their tax bill in the country where they're registered but as they've grown questions are being asked as to why they were paying tax income derived in individual countries their fronts led the charge by imposing the so-called attacks causing the trumpet ministration to go into a tailspin. but the american companies are one of the british version of. the corner and from. things through pasta. for a free couple from facebook other countries in europe are no gearing up to take a slice of the profits point even the brits who no longer agree with the e.u.

on anything on the same page plan to go ahead with article services tax it's really says it too is gearing up for a digital tax leaving the us to throw more threats of tariffs as if they're like a buy one get one free offer we've been pretty clear that we think that the digital discriminatory in nature but it seems with a new terror threat so almost a weekly basis from the trumpet ministration the french a boy by the idea of safety in numbers what will they do tomorrow to go off to austria and spain italy the united kingdom all the other countries across the globe to implement digital tax we're going to order global trade which is in nobody's interest and the result is not worth the effort it's taken them a while but it does appear that all e.u. countries are now on the same page all in agreement that they should be taxing

digital giants which means if no agreement is made globally in the next few months starting with talks in paris next week the us and e.u. the old allies could find themselves going head to head jollity pinski. paris well that's how things are shaping up for the moment plenty of stories on our website of course article concert check it out up next though it's the alex. thank you. thank. you thank you abbi thank. god and. welcome to the alex salmon sure we continue our series on the crisis at highs in across the u.k.
