Seventy years have passed since they died downlast shots of World War II. Humanity remembers a lot. But a lot and forgets. And now in some countries the fascist groups are raising their heads. They want to revive Nazism, and therefore fascism - all the grief that survived humanity: war, death, concentration camps.
11 апреля – День освобождения узников фашистских concentration camps. This date was established by the UN as a memorable one. On this day, 04/11/1945, an international uprising of prisoners took place in the Buchenwald camp.
In Europe, concentration camps appeared at the beginning of the twentiethcentury, during the Boer War. At that time, the camp was a place where both prisoners of war and local residents were temporarily detained to fight as partisans. The camps were tent buildings where the prisoners were provided with some amenities. There is information that more than 25 thousand people died in these English camps.
Во времена третьего Рейха концлагерь превратился to the place of mass extermination of people. In Germany, the first of the concentration camps was the Dachau camp, in which at least 70,000 prisoners died from 1933 to 1945. At the very end of the war in Germany there were 26 large concentration camps and dozens less.
April 11 is the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps. Prisoners of Dachau will never forget this day.
The most bloody symbol of fascism was the Auschwitz camp, which was located on the territory of Poland.
Almost 1.5 million people were killed here.April 11 is the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps. Photos of prisoners on the walls of the corridor of the camp are dumb proof of the crimes of the Nazis. For the first time in Auschwitz, a chemical method was used to kill prisoners in the form of a cyclone-B gas. The 7,000 liberated prisoners of Auschwitz are a living symbol, reminiscent of the fact that there is a Day for the liberation of prisoners of Nazi concentration camps.
Over 14,000 camps were built over the years.of the fascist Reich. They contained about 18 million prisoners from nearly thirty countries of the world. In all of these camps, prisons and ghettos, more than ten million people died. Half of all the dead are citizens of the Soviet Union. Our people remember and honor the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps.
The biggest camps were:
Buchenwald - the largest Nazi concentration camp,who began his criminal activities in June 1937 in the area of the German city of Weimar. The first batch of prisoners arrived in June 1938. For eight years, it has grown to sixty-six branches of the main camp, scattering its tentacles across the occupied countries of Europe.
Here the labor of prisoners was the installation of rocket-projectiles FAA.
For the period from 1937 to 1945 through a concentration campAbout two hundred forty thousand prisoners passed through Buchenwald. But at first they were political prisoners from Germany, as well as those objectionable to the regime: pacifists, drug addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals, criminals. And later, when the war began, Roma, Jews, Poles, Russians, French became prisoners of the camp. Here the prisoners were not only physically exploited, but also subjected (especially children) to cruel medical experiments. Over the years of the war, over 55 thousand people, representatives of 18 nationalities, including 20 thousand Soviet prisoners of war, were massacred, burned, poisoned and shot in Buchenwald.
Now only the foundation, made of stone, reminds that there were barracks for prisoners.
In April 1945, the war thundered onthe territory of Germany. Information about the offensive of the Allied forces reached the camp of Buchenwald, whose prisoners on April 11 carried out an uprising, disarming the guards while taking the leadership of the camp into their own hands. A day later, the camp was liberated by the advanced units of the Allied forces. The prisoners were saved.
April 11 is the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps. The surviving prisoners of Buchenwald remember this day.
Branches of the Buchenwald concentration camp were located andoutside of Germany. For example, the island of Usedom, located in the Baltic Sea, was the location of the Nazi secret factory producing V-2 rockets. In 1944-1945, the shells of Antwerp and London were shelled with these shells.
After in 1943 the German base wascrushed, earned a new rocket plant in the Harz Mountains, near the city of Nordhausen. A large number of prisoners provided a quick start-up of an underground factory for the manufacture of shells V-2. The production missile complex was located at a depth of seventy meters. Forty adits connected two two-kilometer tunnels dug by prisoners.
April 11 - the Day of the liberation of fascist prisonersconcentration camps. The scenario of the SS men was simple: all the prisoners who worked at the underground plant did not have to come to the surface alive. They became hostages of circumstances as carriers of state secrets. In the camp "Doro" killed tens of thousands of prisoners. One V-2 rocket was equal to thirty human lives. When the Red Army units approached Nordhausen, the SS men shot over thirty thousand prisoners.
April 11 is the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps. The tragedy of the Second World War should not be repeated.
The purpose of this event is to tell students aboutthe atrocities of the Germans during the war, to cause them compassion for fellow countrymen, to notify about the disastrous consequences of war for people. The recommended date is April 11, the Day of the liberation of prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The script of the memorial matinee is given below.
Event Plan:
In 1946, the Nuremberg Tribunal recognized the crimes of fascism as crimes against humanity.
1991 - the year of the creation of the Russian Union of Formerjuvenile prisoners camps. For members of this union will always remain the bright date of the Day of the liberation of prisoners of fascist concentration camps. The scenario in which the Nazis killed children should never be repeated.
