in the late 1970's, as a brand new congresswoman, i traveled to poland. i wanted to see my heritage. and i visited the small really small village that my family came from. where my great grandmother left poland as a 16-year-old girl, to come to the united states, to meet up with her brother to begin a new life. little money in her pocket, but big dreams in her heart. and the story of america is the story of our family. in baltimore when women didn't even have the right to vote. she came in 1886 and exactly 100 years to the year, i became a united states senator. so i wanted to go back to see where we came from to really know our story even better. but i also wanted to see the dark side of the history of poland. and i went to auschtwitz. touring the concentration camp was an experience for me that was searing and even today, i carry it not only in my mind's eye but i carry it in my heart. i could not believe the experience. and madam president you know me. you know i'm a fairly strong, resilient person. but i think we've even shared stories that i was a ch

, hungary and the baltics, poland romania and the baltics. may not have been noticed by many people but that is quite a commitment. it is the united states that will take its role. it is important to understand that europe was never at peace. 100,000 people died in yugoslavia but the europeans would say they were in to the european union so it doesn't count. i think they would say that. what is happening here is the country's that face russia, the baltics poland romania they face them alone. the other europeans aren't part of it. it is as if world war ii when the pacific seemed to be at risk. really wasn't involved. that is the reality of europe. the nation's state represents a shared fate, shared history, shared culture, love of one's coin. the thing the european tried to do was not abolish the law of one's own but redefine its the you have two love, your country and europe. that is what they tried to do in virginia at the revolution. it is hard to have two loves. don't try it at home. this is the underlying crisis of europe today. which is

and hungary and the baltics and poland and romania and the baltics. and so that is quite a commitment that we have started to do. it is the united states that will take this role. and it's very important to understand that europe was never at peace. 100,000 people died in yugoslavia. but the europeans have said that with the european union it doesn't count. but what has happened here is that the countries that face russia, the baltics poland and romania we face them alone. the other europeans are not part of it. as if world war ii in the pacific seemed to be at risk and iowa wasn't really involved. and that is the real reality of europe. and so the nationstate represents a shared fate and shared history and shared culture. in one of the things the european union tried to do was not abolished the love of one's own but redefine it so that there were two loves, your country and also europe. it's pretty much what they tried to do in virginia at the revolution. it was very hard those few months. and this is the underlying crisis of europe today, which is i

i was born in auschwitz, which was before the war in poland at the town of about 14,000. we were close to the german border. and in 1939, when germany invaded poland, it was in two days they already occupied our town. i myself was my family of seven members, five children and my parents. we lived there. we had a really nice home on the outskirts of town with a lot of fields and gems. it was most of the children have good memories of it. my father was -- my mother was a teacher. and in 1979 when the germens occupied our town, they immediately nexted it and this became the third right and renamed it auschwitz. this took about three weeks and the first ones applied to the jewish people. but we were not permitted to attend school. this was the first order of the restrictions that they imposed upon us. as time went on we had to be recognizable so we were wearing an arm bonded with the star of david. we were also restricted in our movements in our town and there was curfew posted and so on. and this time went on with my family. they would periodically take people to work in con

they also discussed ties between japan and poland. they said they'll upgrade those relations to a strategic partnership. they agreed to have defense officials meet regularly, and they promise to cooperate more closely on energy in light of poland's plans to build nuclear plants. president komorowski had earlier spoken to nhk about the situation in eastern ukraine. >> translator: i can have no peace of mind about the situation there. i feel it's a threat. i have doubts about whether the ceasefire agreement will be observed. >> komorowski suggested the possibility of tougher measures against russia. he said the eu should work with the u.s. and canada to impose more sanctions if separatists don't honor the ceasefire. the president criticized russian leaders for threatening to cut the supply of gas to ukraine and warning of an impact on europe. he said they're using energy as a weapon to undermine solidarity in the eu. komorowski said eu leaders should negotiate energy prices with the russians. >>> germany's lower house has approved a fou

now i am asking the president of the republican of poland for his address. today's ceremony's under his patronage. ladies and gentlemen, and especially you who went through this all the distinguished guests we are in this life where our civilization was down in the place where the plans to destroyed men of their dignity was systematically executed where german nazis launched in the sea and a human being was reduced to a number. ten years ago at the shore, here they kept my family in prison and they burned everyone. here, they took my name away and they gave me the number. never again was i myself. i became a number. we are standing in the place where over a million people were murdered overwhelmingly majority of them being jews frauchl europe, prisoners of war, and many many mothers. we are standing in the place that reminds us of the murdererous nazi ideology that underminds the pillars of the world. it was exactly 70 years ago that a camp was liberated by the troops of the 60th army of the first ukrain of the red army. on that day, in the afternoon, the in

and balkans poland, romania and the baltics. while that may not be noticed by many people, that is quite a commitment to we've started to do. it is the united states that would take this role. it is very important to understand that europe is never at peace. 100,000 people died in yugoslavia. but the europeans with a doing the europeans so it doesn't count. they did say that. but what is happening here is that the countries that face russia, the baltics poland, romania, they face them alone. the other europeans are part of it. during world war ii, on the pacific seemed to be at risk iowa really wasn't involved. that is the real reality of europe. the nationstate represents the shared fate a shared history, a shared culture, a love of one's own. and one of the things the european union tried to do was not abolished the love of one's own there we define it so you have two loves you for your country in europe. this is the recess today. between 1992 and 2008 are collapsing. meetings are held both are taken, but the fundamental inner

the first country to make progress was poland. poland was worried about a german invasion, they were able to hand select a series of very gifted mathematicians. the leader was marian rejewski. and they begin an earnest effort to break the enigma code. it one thing to have bright intelligent people, but when you're going up against three times 10 to the 114th power in terms permutations, you have a very, very, very tough road to hoe. they didn't give and they got some help there. was a gentleman who worked in the german cipher bureau, hans schmitt, he had once been a wealthy man, he lost all of his business because of the great depression, now he was destitute, his older brother got him a job as a humble government clerk at the cipher bureau, and hans decided to do something to enhance his financial situation. he contacted an agent of the french secret service, he said i've got some secrets about enigma i'd like to sell. how much money can you give me. bertrand said how does $20,000 sound in french franrs, and the exchange was made

being faced by nations like poland and romania who look to nato to help them. that is a loss of sovereignty and commitment. the americans announced that the united states is pre-positioning tanks in the whole and can account hungary, and the baltics. that may not have been noticed by many people but is quite a commitment. it is the united states that will take this we will. it it is important to understand that europe was never at peace. the europeans were saying they were in the european union, so it does not count. what is happening here is that countries that face russia the baltics, poland romania they faced them alone. it is as if when the pacific seems to be at risk i already was not involved which is the real reality of europe. the nationstate represents a shared fate, history culture a love of one's own one of the things that the european union tried to do is not abolish the love of one's own but redefined it so that you have two loves me your country and your which is pretty much what they tried to do. very hard to have two loves. do not try at home. t

i linkthink -- i think we should not get militarily involved. >> i think we do care about poland and its european allies. europe is one of the important trade partners. we have been committed since the end , of world war ii to peace and the recognition of the existing borders in europe. we have a big stake in europe. therefore, i think the united states is rightfully engaged in this issue and has to take into account what is going on ukraine. >> host: this may be an obvious question but why angela merkel and francois hollande playing such a key role? >> guest: they have the best relationship with putin. especially angela merkel, who has a long-standing relationship and has been the major conduit between president putin and president obama through the crisis. i think the reasons she chose to become engaged is because she understands the intermediatiary -- intermediary role she can play and is trying to do that. >> host: she said she is so far disappointed by his attitude. >> guest: i think she is, and not surprisingly so. nevertheless, chancellor merkel, who came from east germany, wh

the first country to make progress poland. poland was worried about her german invasion and they were able to hand select a series of gifted mathematicians. they begin in earnest effort to break the enigma code. it's one thing to have right intelligent people but when you are going up against three times 10 to the 114th power, you have a tough road to hoe. they did not give up. the residual men who worked in the euro who had once been a wealthy man. luckily, his older brother was able to get him a job as a clerk. he decided to do something to enhance his financial situation and contacted and agent of a french secret service and set i've got some secrets about enigma i would like to sell. how much money can you give me? how does $20,000 sound in french francs? the exchange was made and because he had talked to the folks before, he forwarded the information to them. it was a slow process but over time, the polls were able to discern how the process works and begin to break enigma messages. once you do that, you've got to turn it

poland is an interesting place. investors in europe will see all of their bonds bought up by the ecb. polands looks like a semideveloped marketplace and that play force it. >> we can see them develop out of the economies and look to these markets plus the search for yield given the relatively low yields across the euro zone? >> exactly. south africa as well even where you see the policy talking about keeping rates unchanged for a couple of months not even cutting rates but really it's a matter of timing we have a lot of excess buying going on and bonds. there's probably three to six months where the ecb will be buying out their excess demand before people start looking elsewhere. it's going to be very supportive for particularly external debt and euro denominated external debt for places like hungary, romania and places like that and local markets as well to a degree. >> somewhere like poland you think might benefit but other countries might not. >> well czech republic is probably the most activist. it has a currenc

>> if there were military emergency, the troops could be sent to such bases in the baltic states, poland romania, or bulgaria. he says russia should not see that as a provocation. >> it is part of the package of deterrence. deterrence of course means nuclear deterrence, but also conventional deterrence. it also supports european diplomatic efforts that will be strengthened if our neighbors know we have a deployable force that can also operate outside europe's borders. >> germany is taking on a key role in developing the new forces, providing the majority of troops for the test phase. it's all part of nato strategy to prepare for any possible escalation of the conflict in ukraine. >> before we go to a short break, some other news now. two days after the horrific burning death of one of its pilots by islamic state, jordan has hit back as promised. >> on thursday the country launch new airstrikes targeting the terror group. king abdullah saying this is just the start of a retaliation that will be earthshaking. >> king abdullah shared a long embrace with the father of the murder pilot. the m

poland and romania are still debating what to do. they rolled out a hungarian solution for now. genie: let's talk about greece. getting an inkling of what the government might propose. >> leaders are not optimistic about a greek deal. finance ministers will meet in brussels and this is the idea we have got of the proposals greece will be putting on the table. a bridging loan to keep greece afloat until september. the government wants to scrap a third of the reforms, replacing with 10 reforms from the oecd. greece once a smaller budget surplus that they have currently committed to and they want some form of debt relief, most likely in the form that finance minister yanis varoufakis proposed. angela merkel said she would wait and see. >> the three institutions of the troika the ecb the eu commission, and the imf have a great on programs. these are the basis of any discussion we have. i've always said i will wait for greece to compensate sustainable -- to come with a sustainable proposal and then we will talk. >> let's start in athens, a more optimistic day on the markets compared

guest: i think the sglinings cares about poland and eastern europe and allies. europe is one of the important trade partners. we have been committedto since the end of world war ii to peace and the recognition of the existing borders in europe. we have a big steak in europe and, therefore, i think the united states is rightfully engaged in this issue and has to take into account what is going on ukraine. host: this may be an obvious question about why angela merkel and francois hollande playing such a keely role? guest: they have the best relationship with putin. he specially angela merkel has been the majority conduit and i think the reasons she chose to become engaged is because she understands the intermediatiary role she can play and is trying to do that. host: she said she is so far disappointed by his at tut. guest: i think she is and not surprisingly so. nevertheless chancellor merkel who came from east german who speaks russian is someone who at least understands the mentality that is in play here she may not be optimistic but she is willing to at least

a ceremony in poland recently commemorated the liberation of one of the most infamous sites from thatd the auschwitz concentration camp. and one japanese student says some of the lessons are still relevant today. nhk world's yukako sakai reports. >> reporter: a symposium brought the facts of the holocaust to tokyo. it took place on the anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz, the nazi-built camp where more than a million jews were killed. a famous documentary by claude lansmann put the audience face-to-face with the horrors of the death camp. the title is "shoah," the hebrew word for the mass murder of european jews. that documentary presents of testimony of jewish survivors of the camp, former collaborators of nazi regime, and witnesses who failed to speak against the genocide. the main message at the tokyo symposium was, ordinary people also played a part in the holocaust through their action and inaction. >> translator: reflecting on why the holocaust happened should lead us to realize that the roots of discrimination lie inside all of us. >> reporter: several university student

they just conquered poland and the blitzkrieg operation. in this man is there and says this has to be stopped. he is not political. he does not try to change the system. this is about freedom. this is about not going along with something he feels would be totally devastating for humankind. the story has not been told in the proper way, so that is why it is important to do this now. at times when edward snowden stood up and said this has got to stop, the end of democracy and freedom invading our privacy. it is impressive to see a single man being able to make a difference and he is the perfect example of that. >> returning to sarah harmon, this not much of the festival left. you have seen a bunch of movies. could you briefly tell us a couple of your tops and flops? >> a flop was certainly "night of cops," hotly anticipated starring christian bale and natalie portman but the film was a complete disappointment to me. it really drove home the point that as a society we are at saturation point for movies where middle-aged white guys read a bunch

but there's a scene in poland that the camp was in the distance. the gas chambers, they interviewed all of the people who were -- they didn't smell anything. they didn't know anything. they just -- it just reminds me about that. the image of shoa. >> the great ole factory collapse in poland. i'm out of time. and so i -- as i said for all of the other papers, i think mine >> the c-span cities tour travels to learn about history and literary life. we partnered with time warner cable for a trip to corpus christi, texas. >> the federal government does not have many deployable resources. the army does a variety of things. they are discoverers they are explorers. army contracts were an important part of the western economy. the army plays a role in conservation. in the recent can burn's series on the development of american national parks it points out that he parks were established in the 19th century but there was no one to protect them or preserve them or keep as

statute of limitations in poland. as a result last month the polish prosecutors referred the matter to the courts to make a decision on the legality of the u.s. request. so that's the hearing that we're expecting that will start today and which we are expecting polanski himself to attend. now even if that court decides that that u.s. request is legal, it doesn't end there. it is actually ultimately under polish law up to the justice minister to ultimately decide whether or not he's going to sign off on that extradition. >> we'll see what happens with that. as we saw in your report polanski has evaded the u.s. justice system for nearly 40 years. the young girl he took advantage of has since forgiven him. and he's a man in his early 80s. will any of that play into what happens next to plan ski? >> reporter: -- polanski? >> reporter: well it may well do. i mean looking at the case polanski himself has shown confidence confidence. i mean, back in october when the extradition request first made its way to the polish author

we talked a little bit about how the final solution began in the east in poland in the soviet union andpread back into the western part of europe. here is a map showing your and the effects of the final solution in various parts of europe. the darker the gray any given country, the higher proportion of its jewish population perished in the final solution. now of course unsurprisingly germany is a very dark gray. it was perhaps more interested in terms of our thinking today the spread of the holocaust to the west is that holland -- the netherlands is a bit darker gray and belgium is practically white areas a lot depends on the willingness of the local population to operate with the germans. in the netherlands there was a very active dutch nazi party that help to pass laws to carry outlaws that were in keeping with the wishes of the germans. many dutch jews therefore were deported and ultimately executed. of course you know the story of anne frank, who became famous and remain famous after the war. there was only a small portion of that population deported from the netherlands and sent to

it's like, adolf hitler, get out of poland, here's $2000. but it doesn't work that way. neil: you are right about that we try to deal with irrational people in a logical way. my argument that benjamin netanyahu should be allowed to speak with congress, the fact is that the invited out, the leader of the united states coming and he should be allowed to speak in all of these people who say they are not going to go to it or a variety of reasons is just bunk to me and they said that that's wrong, that's a travesty, what is being allowed to go on is insulting and it's even more insulting going to an event like this. >> if there were war in the middle east, the only place the u.s. could tell in his in israel. and that includes fighting for the rule along with the utmost encouragement, they are best friends, as soon as you get east of england, they are best friends. the idea that mr. obama is snubbing miss the curse words he called them unbelievable. where this anti-zionism comes from i am not right sure i think it basically comes from the minister, but there's something wrong

nato is in poland and other eastern european areas. so for russia an n.a.t.o. bolstering of forces in eastern europe and a consideration by the united states for arming the ukranian military both those things fit into the narrative, and they feel aggrieved and justified >>> okay. rory challands live in moscow. thank you very much indeed. we are going to go to syria now. the capital damascus and other nearby districts. state media is reporting three are dead, another-eight are injured. the syrian observatory for human rights said the army of islam is where the rockets came from we go live to stephanie dekker our correspondent monitoring events in syria, from the capital of beirut. tell us about how sustained this attack is on damascus. >> it happened around 7:30 in the morning. we are hearing from at least 50 landing in the capital. in the capital. you mentioned three killed, 30 injured. it caused a panic among the people there. damascus is the capital of syria, relatively quiet in relation to what is going on in the rest of the country. people go to restaurants

the treaty bans intercepting missiles developed in romania and poland. the american counterparts s cite some rude claims to russia but they devoid specific facts. based on this, we should not try to reduce the crisis to last year's events. we believe this is the climax of a policy conducted in the past 25 years aiming to dominate international relations in europe. the cis countries, our neighbors connected with us by historical and economic and family ties, were required to make a choice. are you with us or against us? following the zero-sum logic. unfortunately, the strategic partnership between russia and the european union has not withstood the test. i should mention the missed opportunity to realize the initiative launched by mrs. merkel to set up a russia-eu foreign policy and security committee. russia supported the idea. the eu rejected. a mechanism like that would have helped effectively resolve issues and address concerns ahead of time. as regards to the ukraine, at any stage of the crisis, the american counterparts and european union took steps

they will be based in bulgaria astoria latvia, poland and romania. and basically their task is that if a crisis occurs, that occurs they will have to coordinate and plan how to follow the secretary general said that the national and nato international forces work as well. >> and katrina what about the diplomatic efforts to secure a cease fire, how is that likely to play out? >> well there have been certain questions raised during the day whether this will just sparkle the tensions while nato officials believe that it at least should not rise an further tensions. everybody here is really -- everybody here is emphasizing that the solution can be only reached in a peaceful, diplomatic way. so in this respect there will be certain meetings. they will try to talk to moscow and rush are sha, to cry to ensure the cease fire. however, as the secretary general all this is kind of a response because of the intensive way to the threats coming from russia, and nato, they need to be kind ready for whatever is coming. >> thank you for talking to us. >> coming up h

baltimore had a gm assembly poland that has several -- plant that had several thousand employees. those kinds of big plants went down very sharply after the 1960s. starting in the 1970s when our economy started to transform, those jobs went elsewhere as steel was produced elsewhere, as we bought foreign cars. and little by little, they've been eroded. so today those jobs don't exist. the steel plant has closed, and in addition the general motors plant has closed. we have some good news in baltimore. coming many in the parking lot where the gm plant used to be is a big amazon distribution outlet. that's terrific. but those jobs are going to pay a half or a third of what the unionized job at the general motors plant paid. so their replacing jobs but not with the kind of benefits and pay that can support a family easy. what's happened in baltimore is the old time factory jobs have been drying up. they're either not here or highly mechanized with one worker operating a million dollar machine. instead, we have the new economy, the amazon.com economy, the economy where you're making les
